~ TRAPPED IN TIME, THE LOST TAPES ~

 (2011 RECORD COLLECTOR - NUMBERED LIMITED EDITION & COA)

ON OFFER HERE IS THIS UNPLAYED MINT COPY OF THE ALREADY RARE NUMBERED, LIMITED EDITION ORIGINAL 180-GRAM VINYL PRESSING OF THIS PREVIOUSLY ‘LOST’ AND UNISSUED ALBUM “TRAPPED IN TIME - THE LOST TAPES” BY CRESSIDA.

THIS ALBUM WAS RELEASED IN 2011 AS A Limited edition of JUST 750 COPIES.

Fans of psychedelic and progressive rock and the famed Vertigo Swirl label will be familiar with the name CRESSIDA. The band released their eponymous debut album in 1970 and followed it up in 1971 with Asylum. The first album chock full of melodic inventive songs was critically acclaimed but due to a lack of gigs the band split up around the time that Asylum was released. Despite leaving only a two album legacy the music of CRESSIDA continues to seduce fans old and new especially as progenitors of progRESSIVE rock.

This IS NOT A REISSUE LP. THIS IS THE FIRST PRESSING EVER OF the original demo tapes which contain many of the fantastic tracks that would appear on CRESSIDA’S debut ALBUM. there are stark differences however on many arrangements and three TRACKS have, until now, never been heard before! Overall, this is a stunning collection and a vital addition to the CRESSIDA story.

RECORD COLLECTOR commissioned a full colour gatefold sleeve FROM one of the bands' closest friends. THEY HAD the music re-mastered to perfection by Fluid Mastering, and THEN pressed 750 COPIES on 180gm dinner plate vinyl. Each comes with hand numbered and signed certificate.
