Centipede was a 50+ free-jazz/prog orchestra assembled in 1970 by pianist Keith Tippett in order to perform his large-scale conceptual work "Septober Energy."
Made up of a core of musicians drawn from Tippett's own band and the orbit of the Soft Machine and King Crimson, and augmented by various established professional players (including solid jazz men like Alan Skidmore) and student musicians, the group produced this prog/free jazz masterpiece which sounds quite unlike anything else to come out of the progressive rock boom
Side 1: Septober Energy
Side 2: Septober Energy
Side 3: Septober Energy
Side 4: Septober Energy
LABELS: NEAR MINT
All four labels are clean and fresh
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
A few marks are visible but none of these have any major audible consequence
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT
A fascinating and largely overlooked free-jazz/prog masterpiece and my play-check at volume found little to fault.
A touch of surface noted on some of the quietest/silent moments and the occasional one-off tick but nothing major and an all-round very nice playing copy
SLEEVE: VERY GOOD
Apart from small central splits to the top edges where the vinyl has cut through, and a little ring the cover is clean and unmarked
