Their first album, originally released in 1970, featured the all-star line-up of Carl Palmer on drums, Nick Graham on bass and flute, and the amazing Vincent Crane—father of his own trademark style of keyboard playing—on keyboards. Atomic Rooster was the crème de la crème in the panorama of 1970s British bands, and has managed to gain cult status like few others. They have been labeled "heavy dark prog," but we prefer to simply say that they were amazing and at the head of their class. This reissue also features 5 rare bonus tracks (including 2 rare BBC sessions), lyrics and unreleased photos...so what are you waiting for?!
