THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH Horizons (Harvest 1 C 062-04310) RARE German 1st Pressing MINT-
RARE original German first pressing of The Greatest Show On Earth`s debut album "Horizons" on Harvest Records (March 1970).
"After a few months of woodshedding new tunes, they emerged with a fresh sound and material for their debut, Horizons (1970). The extracted single "Real Cool World" is marked by its open-throttle, galloping tempo and some equally pungent electric organ riffs. As such, it was also given a few cursory spins on BBC's Radio One; however, the remainder of the disc was criminally overlooked. To modern ears, this is a great shame, as the effort is full of well-crafted and adeptly executed material. (...) The title track extends over a quarter-hour and allows the combo room to demonstrate their remarkable improvisational skills in the context of an ensemble. In particular, Ron Prudence (drums/percussion) and Norman Watt-Roy (bass/vocals) stand out as a rock-solid rhythm section. Although they stuck around for a follow-up effort, The Going`s Easy, The Greatest Show On Earth were never given the due that this release so evidently deserves." - Lindsay Planer for allmusic.com
