Jewel case cd

Inspired jazz-rock performances by a talented five piece that represents the best of the Canterbury scene, a movement that flourished in the early Seventies.

‘Ben’ was their only release on the progressive Vertigo ‘spiral’ label in 1971 and is packed with ambitious instrumental arrangements. ‘The Influence’ is a full scale suite with excellent playing by Alex Macleery (keyboards) and Gerry Reid (guitars).

A much sought after collector’s item, this album will appeal to all fans of an era when bands such as Soft Machine and Caravan ruled.

Expertly remastered – superb sound - top quality reproduction.
