Description

RARE/VINTAGE/CLASSIC "PATHFINDER" LP 

BEGGARS OPERA 1972. . SWIRL LABEL

This rare/scarce album is 40 YEARS old now, and to be honest, the cover is a wee bit ragged around the edges (just like the rest of us from that era!!!).  There is the slightest of nicks at the intro to track 2 on Side B "From shark to haggis", but it does not detract from the overall sound of this "classic" Prog Rock album.

Beggars Opera were a six piece classical, progressive rock band from Glasgow, Scotland who formed in 1969. Signed to Vertigo Records, they were a furiously hard working band who toured extensively in the late 60’s through to mid 70’s with, apart from the highlights of touring for a decade with practically no stopping.

They were part of the Speyer Festival Germany – The Great British Rock Meeting alongside Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and Fleetwood Mac and played their final show alongside the New York Doll’s at London’s infamous designer clothes shop Biba’s.
