Description

This is the rare album High Tide by High Tide, released in 1970 on Liberty (LBS 83294 , A2 - U, B2 - U as stamped on the vinyl.) This album was bought new, and has only been played a few times, so the vinyl is in MINT condition. All our records are played on a Linn Sondek/SME system and so have been very well looked after. This album has the wonderfully textured sleeve.

The textured cover has light edge wear, and faint circular wear - there are no splits or tears and it retains its fab psychedelic colours. The name and number of the album has been written onto the inner white sleeve.

Background on the band:

A group that may have been too clever by half to succeed in England, High Tide never received more than a minimal amount of acceptance in their own country, but found a cult audience on the European continent. Formed in 1969, they played progressive rock with some folk and pop influences. Tony Hill was the singer and guitarist, Simon House played violin and keyboards, Peter Pavli handled the bass, and Roger Hadden played the drums. They were signed to Liberty Records' U.K. division in 1969 and released two albums over the next year — Sea Shanties and a self-titled second album — both of which featured dazzling guitar work by Hill and occasional striking interplay between his instrument and House's violin. The group never really found an audience however, splitting up in 1970. Simon House later became a member of Hawkwind, played with David Bowie, and joined members of the Third Ear Band to perform on the soundtrack of Roman Polanski's movie Macbeth. Pavli later joined in recording with House and several other Hawkwind expatriates. Hill and House have also recorded together in more recent years. The group also backed Denver Gerrard on his 1970 solo album.
