Captain Beyond ORIG US ST LP VG+ '72 3D Cover Hard Rock Deep Purple
Original US LP released in 1972 on Capricorn Records. Cat: CP01015. Features 3D cover.
Uncovered in the out back of N.S.W. this record is part of a recent collection stored and unplayed for the last 20 years. Collected during the 90's and mostly sourced from overseas kept in a cool dry cellar there are some tasty gems on offer and we look forward to listing them over the next few months. All records have been professionally cleaned and play tested and graded conservatively
Captain Beyond is a one-of-a-kind progressive album with rock, heavy metal, and jazz influences with a "space rock" lyrical bend. Formed by former members of Deep Purple (Rod Evans, vocals), Iron Butterfly (Rhino, lead guitar, and Lee Dorman, bass), and Johnny Winter (Bobby Caldwell, drums) Captain Beyond is an album that flows from riff to riff, drumbeat to drumbeat, often with various time signatures within the same song. Taking a tip from the Moody Blues, songs flow directly into each other without benefit of any lag time between selections. Taken as a whole, the album is kind of a rush, as quick, riff-laden guitar lines predominate for a few songs before slowing down temporarily into a lull until the next takeoff.
Tracks : Dancing madly backwards/ Armworth/ Myopic void/ Memorisation eclipse/ raging river of fear/ Thousand days of yesterdays (intro)/ Frozen over/ Thousand days of yesterdays (Time since come and gone)/ I can't feel nothin'/ As the moon speaks (to the waves of the sea)/ Astral lady/ As the moon speaks (return)/ I can't feel nothin' (Part II).
