Description
1970 cult classic of that in between period of music where established styles weren't established yet for psychedelia/metal/prog rock for the major labels so records like this probably barely got reviewed anywhere (Polydor 24-4032 stereo). Produced by Shadow Morton.
....Another FUN album is Ted Nugent & his Amboy Dukes Marriage on the rocks rock bottom 1970 (pic on the innersleeve no less), same Polydor label, all sorts of styles in that one, the drummer David Palmer had so much fun he left the band & stayed in Electric Ladyland studios to work there for the rest of his career from what I can tell). I've only heard a few songs so far on this but I think it's similar to Armageddon, Atomic Rooster etc, wonderful stuff that has been ignored for decades but are being looked for nowadays. ....Fun cover reminds me of that medieval painting for Black Sabbath's Nems Greatest Hits from 1975 "The Triumph of Death by Bruegel the Elder in 1562" same styles but less violent at least. Jim Visconti did it, back photo is by David Hoff.
