UNICORN Blue Pine Trees (Charisma CAS 1092) CSN&Y Pink Floyd RARE UK 1st Pressing MINT
RARE very first UK pressing of Unicorn`s third album "Blue Pine Trees" on Charisma Records (1974). 
English folk-rock`s exquisite answer to the multi-layered harmonies of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Produced by Pink Floyd`s David Gilmour...and it shows!
"Always one of the most exquisite-sounding records of the mid-'70s, Blue Pine Trees was the sound of Unicorn at the peak of their musical and songwriting abilities. An album that puts you in mind of Lindisfarne before they got desperate, or The Beatles if Ashley Hutchings had produced them, this is British folk-rock at one of its most idiosyncratic extremes. On the one hand, Unicorn's roots in the sounds of the American west coast are unmistakable. But, on the other, they never forget their English roots and, mindful too of their familial links to Pink Floyd (David Gilmour produced the best of their albums), Blue Pine Trees soars with melancholy subtlety above all of its influences, to remind us just how unique Unicorn were. 
Key cuts like "Electric Night," "Autumn Wine," and the spectral beauty of "Ooh! Mother" are subjective; like a great Al Stewart album, with the Flying Burrito Brothers behind him, Blue Pine Trees might lure you in with its overall sheen, but it can continue surprising your ears for weeks. And (...) it's not even the best record they ever made!"  - Dave Thompson for allmusic.com
