Clear Blue Sky UK 1970 LP Vertigo Records Catalogue Number 6360 013, Originally a trio of friends from school, John Simms (guitar), Mark Sheather (bass), and Ken White (drums) grew up in the Acton area of London and started as a college circuit blues-rock band called Jug Blues (later Matuse and then X). Impressing manager Ashley Kozak, the band were given a deal with Vertigo, changed their name to Clear Blue Sky and recorded a self-titled record under the production of Patrick Campbell-Lyons. Still only eighteen, the three musicians mixed hard blues with progressive and psychedelic rock in an unusually mature way, and the LP was released in January 1971 sporting one of Roger Dean's earliest album covers. The group were compared to Cream, Led Zep and early Jethro Tull, though the music had a firm prog sensibility (and these days they remind of RUSH). Considering their partially forgotten status, Clear Blue Sky is a surprisingly tight and accomplished band that probably deserve more attention than they got the first time around. Gatefold Sleeve EX- Record VG+ (About 3cm in one side 1 are two marks that cause a crackling noise for two revolutions, and there is one other very light scuff on side 2), P&P UK £5.99 (Via Fully Insured Special Delivery) Overseas at cost
