Bonfire Records present a reissue of Salamandar's The Ten Commandments, originally released in 1971. The biblical ten commandments are surely the main inspiration behind this concept album originally released on British independent label Young Blood in 1971. The one and only release by Salamander, a short-lived UK four-piece, the album is a quintessential prog opera with a heavy effort on Hammond organ and lush orchestral arrangements. Comprised of Alister Benson (organ, vocals), Dave Chriss (bass), John Cook (drums), and Dave Titley (lead vocals, guitar) the band was often compared to The Moody Blues and Deep Purple Mark I. Even if the ten tracks are inspired by the holy script, the band was not proven to be Christian rock itself. The album is a sublime pompous pop affair, with a good dose of fuzz guitars and brass section. Fully licensed. 180 gram vinyl; edition of 500.

GUESS 083LP

First-ever vinyl reissue of this UK 1971 album, originally released on the Youngblood label. Based on The Ten Commandments, though not proven to be Christian rock itself, the album is a nice progressive pop-rock disc showing the influence of Deep Purple and The Moody Blues, with a good dose of organ, guitar and brass. Fantastic, limited reissue in a four-way foldout poster-type picture cover, housed in a deluxe PVC outer sleeve. 180 gram vinyl, newly-remastered sound from master tapes, including an insert with liner notes by Andy Morten.
