An eponymous LP of this very fine, but completely ignored British band was released in non-attractive, but expensive (gatefold & textured) cover in November 1971 by DJM Records - label familiar with the early Elton John titles, but absolutely not with the underground music. This professionally produced album contained an eclectic mix of styles (inc. two ballads and classic ‘Lucille’ clone in heavy blues rock style), but most of the time it was beautifully-arranged, progressive sounds similar to early Genesis, Yes, Procol Harum & Beggars Opera (like lengthy and simply stunning compositions like ‘Welcome To The Soldier’, ‘Classical Gas’ and ‘Guillotine’) with excellent & quite heavy guitar parts, inventive keyboard work & complex vocal harmonies.
