Formed from the ashes of UK psych legends Jason Crest, and featuring members of cult rockers Samuel Prody and Orang-Utan, this fine quintet coalesced in 1972. Having honed their material in the North of England, they became an immediate success on the live circuit and were soon offered the chance to make an LP. Issued at the end of 1972, it draws on prog, country, pop, and rock influences, but never connected commercially, though it's recognized as a lost classic today. It makes a welcome return to CD here, together with background notes and rare images.
