Description

OCTOPUS 'Restless Night' LP (Spain, Guerssen Records, Catalogue #GUESS090) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited year 2011 Guerssen Records label edition of MEGA-RARE UK Heavy Melodic Pop/Psych Rock album from 1971 by Octopus entitled Restless Night. Originally released in 1971 in the UK on the Penny Farthing label.

(NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION!)

Originating in Hatfield, UK, in 1967, Octopus released their lone LP, Restless Night, in 1971 on the Penny Farthing label. Produced by Tony Murray of The Troggs, the album bridges the gap between '60s psychedelia and a harder-edged '70s sound, drawing on the obvious touchstones of the time including Lennon/McCartney, Argent/Blunstone, and the brothers Davies and Gibb. But Octopus had the songwriting and playing chops to make this album much more than an also-ran; with hooks galore, swirling organ, and fuzz-tone guitars, Restless Nights is a prime piece of early-'70s UK psychedelia that's rare as hen's teeth in its original form.

- Reissue of the sole LP by Octopus, a prime piece of UK psychedelia originally released on the Penny Farthing label in 1971.
- Produced by Tony Murray of The Troggs, Restless Night bridges the gap between '60s psychedelia and a harder-edged '70s sound with hooks galore, swirling organ, and fuzz-tone guitars.
