2023 repress. Trading Places present a reissue of
Catapilla
's self-titled album, originally released in 1971. Jazz-infused prog rock act Catapilla began in London in 1970, with saxophonists
Robert Calvert
(who later worked with
Daevid Allen
in various
Gong
spin-off projects) and
Hugh Eaglestone
, bassist
Dave Taylor
(of chart-topping pop act
Edison Lighthouse
, and later active in hard-rock group,
Liar
), along with drummer
Malcolm Frith
, guitarist
Graham Wilson
, and clarinet player/flautist,
Thierry Rheinhardt
; original vocalist
"Lady" Jo Meek
quit early (to work with the keyboardist, poet, and science fiction author,
Julian Jay Savarin
) and was duly replaced by her sister,
Anna
, whose gutsy gasps gave the band its noteworthy difference, along with the woodwinds and horns.
Former Millionaires
' bassist
Cliff Cooper
(who had worked with producer
Joe Meek
before founding Orange Amplifiers), brought Catapilla to the attention of
Black Sabbath
's manager,
Patrick Meehan
, who swiftly got them a contract with Vertigo, Philips's prog subsidiary; this self-titled debut has four freaky tracks, including the side-long closer, "Embryonic Fusion". 180 gram vinyl; gatefold sleeve. Licensed by Cherry Red.
