THE NORMAN HAINES BAND

"DEN OF INIQUITY"

(1971 PARLOPHONE RECORDS LP – RAREST PROGRESSIVE LP?)

THIS IS THE MEGA-RARE UK PROGRESSIVE MASTERPIECE "DEN OF INIQUITY" BY THE NORMAN HAINES BAND.

I AM NOT EXAGGERATING WHEN I SAY THAT THIS ALBUM IS WIDELY REGARDED AS ONE OF THE HARDEST TO FIND OF ALL THE MAJOR LABEL RARITIES. WHEN DID ONE LAST COME UP FOR SALE!! THE WAIT WILL BE WORTH IT FOR THE LUCKY WINNER!! THIS SUPERB ALBUM WAS ENGINEERED BY PETER BROWN AND RECORDED AT THE LEGENDARY "ABBEY ROAD" STUDIOS. THE QUALITY OF SOUND IS REMARKABLE. ALONGSIDE EX-LOCOMOTIVE NORMAN HAINES, THE OTHER MUSICIANS ARE ANDY HUGHES ON BASS GUITAR, JAZZ LEGEND JIMMY SKIDMORE ON DRUMS AND NEIL CLARKE DEMONSTRATING AMAZING ABILITIES ON THE GUITAR.
