the power of the pics

Top of the league UK progressive album, originally released in 1969

Scottish band 'Writing On The Wall' made it big on the underground rock scene in the late 1960's through a highly dramatic stage act.

They regularly played the Middle Earth club, went on tour with the likes of Ten Years After, held a lengthy residency at the Marquee where they were supported by up and coming acts such as Wishbone Ash. As others retreated to "be-denimed slothfulness" Writing On The Wall became more theatrical, featuring choreographed fights, dressing up as a Caveman, a High Priest, a Monk and a Witchfinder, and the destruction of a Bubble car in support of the recently introduced breathalyser test.
