RARE & MINT 1970 BRITISH ORIGINAL!
COVER BY "HIPGNOSIS"
COCHISE
\ UK - United Artists - UAS 29117
TOP COPY!
RARE ....Original BRITISH first 1970 pressing in laminated eye-popping "Hipgnosis" gatefold cover ... The sought after and seldom seen very first Cochise album, is a varied prog-edged rock affair that even includes rural edges that'll delight fans of 'The Band" and early "Flying Burrito Brothers" - but also enough rock & hard edges to warrent interests from fans of those styles....
Cochise was largely the brainchild of former Plastic Penny lead guitarist Mick Grabham. When Plastic Penny folded Grabham started recruiting for a new band, Formed in 1969 the original Cochise lineup featured the talents of former Bluesology singer Stewart Brown, pedal steel guitarist BJ Cole, ex-Taste drummer John 'Willie' Wilson, and former Jokers Wild bassist Ricky Wills Having played the college and club circuit, they found a backer in the form of Andrew Lauder who helped get them a contract with United Artists. Produced by Dick Taylor, who'd just left the Pretty Things. The Hipgnosis crew (famous for Pink Floyd LP covers) designed the striking laminated gatefold cover, for the period, very daring trippy photo of a woman's unadorned breasts.
The seldom seen first Cochise album is delightful 1970 British rock, distinguished just slightly by a more rural-ish flavor than the norm, courtesy of Cole's pedal steel. It's not country-rock, however, and some of the songs even have infectious hard-edged rock stylings. Numbers like "Painted Lady" and "Moment and the End" are tense hard rock tunes ... There's a wistful rural feel to parts of the material for nice varied effect, suddenly jolted by a heavy rock take on the "59th Street Bridge Song" which is quite a unique experience.
