LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Label: Flawed Gems

This forgotten US band made a little-known, but great album for Epic in the early 1970's and is mostly remembered for including Rick Nielson and Tom Peterson, two future members of Cheap Trick. The album is an amazing late '60s hard rock/early metal recording inspired by the early progressive movement, with plenty of heavy, but catchy guitar riffs and classical-influenced Hammond and mellotron passages against the very solid rhythm section. As a bonus this expanded CD-edition contains two tracks from a 1969 single.
