FIRST PRESS : VO 7 847904VTY 1 Y - 2Y // 1 V 420 1 1 6
BEAUTIFUL EARLY PROG-ROCK GEM
ONE OF THE BEST AND MORE OVERLOOKED EARLY PROG-ROCK BANDS. THE BAND PRODUCED 2 ALBUMS, BOTH NOW VERY RARE AND HIGHLY QUOTED, WITH PERFECTLY CRAFTED SONGS, ENRICHED BY BRILLIANT LYRICS. REAL GEMS IN THE 70's PROGRESSIVE ROCK SCENE.
CRESSIDA'S DEBUT ALBUM FROM 1970, PROBABLY THE BEST OF THE TWO, WITH JOHN HEYWORTH PLAYING GUITARS, IS FULL OF SWINGING ORGAN, JAZZY PERCUSSIONS, GREAT FUZZ GUITAR, AND LOTS OF SWING.
THE 12 TRACKS ARE SUPERB WITH GREAT RIFFS AND SNAPPY DRUMS. IF YOU LIKE THE DEEP SOUND OF HAMMOND B-3 ORGAN, YOU'LL LOVE THIS ALBUM. THE SOUND QUALITY IS RICH AND FULL, IN THE BEST EARLY VERTIGO STYLE.
