Brief Info: This is Nucleus' first album. Recorded in January 1970, it was a pioneering work in emerging genre of jack-rock fusion. Bandleader Ian Carr (later a jazz journalist and published expert on Miles Davis) was probably inspired by Davis' "going electric" in 1969, but the seminal Bitches Brew had not yet been released at the time Elastic Rock was recorded, and according to Carr, they hadn't even heard Davis' less rock-influenced 1969 electric release, In a Silent Way.
In July 1970 the group presented compositions from the LP at the Montreux Jazz Festival, winning the first prize. They subsequently performed both at Newport Jazz Festival and at the Village Gate jazz club.
Cover Grade and Format: VERY GOOD with some rubbing on the edges and a slight tear on the cover front.
Cover Inner Gatefold: The inside is EXCELLENT apart from the reverse view of the front cover slight tear.
Sound Quality and Audio Grading: EXCELLENT.
I use the grading categories as described on Discogs with the exception that I have titled the Very Good Plus (VG+) category on Discogs as EXCELLENT. All other grade titles are as per the Discog titles e.g. Mint, Near Mint, Very Good etc.
These records and the ones on my other listings are part of my private collection that I am selling. I will be adding other records everyday over the next couple of weeks.
