Description

1973 UK cosmic Hammond-led prog-psych album by science fiction author Julian Jay Savarin (his prior debut Double LP album release, A Time Before This, was recorded under the band name Julian's Treatment.) Another excellent Guerssen Records production!

'Here's the second Julian Jay Savarin album, released in 1971 on the short-lived Birth label (a Youngblood imprint). Another stunning prog-rock masterpiece (based on the Savarin-authored sci-fi novel of the same name), still Hammond and keyboard/Mellotron-dominated but with a more hard-rock approach, featuring plenty of killer guitar riffs, powerful but melodic vocals courtesy of Lady Jo Meek (sister of Catapilla's vocalist Anna Meek) and a solid, groovy rhythm section. A legendary album lovingly reissued featuring original artwork, master tape sound, 180 gram vinyl and detailed liner notes by Andy Morton (Shindig! Magazine).'

'Basically the second Julian's Treatment album, this has a similar Hammond organ-fronted sound, but is musically more exploratory, with some lengthy, accomplished tracks, superb compositions and performances, and beautiful, haunting vocals from Jo Meek. As a footnote, Meek was the original lead singer with Catapilla, being replaced at the eleventh hour by her rather less mellifluous sister Anna, whilst drummer Roger Odell was ex-CMU and would later form Shakatak.' - Richard Falk/Galactic Ramble

This is a STILL SEALED MINT re on Guerssen
