Description :
Artist: Mighty BabyTitle: S/t
Label: Head (RARE Original 1st PRESSING! Incredibly Rare RADIO PROMO with Radio Timing Sticker!)
Songs: (View Pictures for Song Titles)
PSYCH/Rock LP which is a RARE and sought Original 1969 first pressing vinyl in thick gatefold cover of the very first MIGHTY BABY album...this UK act MIGHTY BABY was formed in 1968, featuring several members of the disbanded outfit The Action (a swinging London popsike legend)... Mighty Baby hit the studio right away, and had an album ready by the end of '68, which eventually was released at the tail end of 1969 on the Head label.
When the Action broke up in the late 60s, they reformed minus Reggie King as Azoth. The Azoth name was short lived, leading the band to settle on Mighty Baby. The Action had played the club circuit for years, releasing many excellent mod singles before plunging into the world of psychedelia. This band had always worked hard, and now they were finally given the luxury to record a long player. Mighty Baby?s album was released in 1969 off the small independent Head label. At this point, Mighty Baby could technically and instrumentally hold their own against rock?s finest: The Grateful Dead, King Crimson, Collosuem, Caravan and the Allman Brothers. The album is miles away from the soulful, sweaty mod garage of their mid 60s "ACTION" singles and could best be described as a melding of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young harmonies, Allman Brothers guitar improv and early Grateful Dead West Coast psychedelia with progressive enhancements.
Few debut openers are as good as the revolutionary Egyptian Tomb. It?s a sleek, powerful piece of psychedelia with strong west coast style guitar interplay. At 5:30 minutes, this great song never fails and is definitely one of the defining moments of British acid rock. Same Way From The Sun has a similar stoned vibe with psychedelic echo and sounds like it could have been lifted from a really good latter day Byrds album. The spacious, pounding A Friend You Know But Never See, yet another highlight, rocks really hard with some interesting raga style guitar and has a strange mountain air aura. Other works such as the rural I?m From The Country provided a sound Mighty Baby would further explore with their next group, Habibiyya and the album "If Man But Knew" which is equally brilliant from 1972.ORIGINAL Rare Recording, so bid accordingly.
