RARE 1971 FIRST PRESSING BEAUTIFUL LAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER... 48 years of age, lucky to find any better....
Peter Bardens was one of the founding members of the British progressive rock group CAMEL, playing keyboards, often the Mellotron and synthesizer, and wrote the majority of the songs while he was there (usually along with guitarist Andrew Latimer).
In 1965 he was the keyboard player with Them. Between 1966 and 1967 he was with the Shotgun Express, a group featuring Rod Stewart, Peter Green and Mick Fleetwood. His band Pete B's Looners (or the Pete B's) also included Green and Fleetwood.
By 1971, and this was a couple years before CAMEL, Bardens issued this, now sought, popular LP, his second solo album on the highly collected UK TRANSATLANTIC label.
The Transatlantic label released this gem way back in 1971. This was Peter Bardens doing his follow up album to his first one: " The Answer."
A very bluesy album, less prog related than his later works and understandably rough around the edges in parts. Nevertheless there are some excellent tracks to enjoy off here notably ' Write My Name In The Dust', 'My House' and 'Feeling High'. If you are a strong follower of the Camel, Yes, Genesis (etc.) output it is worth you getting some of Peter Barden's early work and you will understand the influences he made to Camel material even after his departure in the late 70's. This is a good album and worthy........
A North End Road 1:25
Write My Name In The Dust 6:34
Down So Long 7:00

CONDITION: The cover: rated: M- TOP COPY! Brilliant designed laminated UK gatefold that puts to shame the rather dumb USA issued design. There are no delete marks, no split seams, no bends, and no writing ...
The vinyl: Rated: M- Very clean across all tracks...very nice audio, as the lucky winner will see. This issue is pretty rare some 48 years later, keep in mind! So both British TRANSATLANTIC labels are clean PETER BARDENS
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
