PETER BANKS
Two Sides Of
Original UK Vinyl LP
First Pressing
Sovereign Label - 1973
Here is a copy of Peter Banks’ solo LP ‘Two Sides of Peter Banks’; it’s a first UK pressing on Sovereign and was released in 1973 in a gatefold sleeve.
Guest musicians included Jan Akkerman, Phil Collins, Steve Hackett and, from Flash, Ray Bennett and Mike Hough.
Here’s what All Music Guide say about this album:
For Two Sides of Peter Banks, the ex-guitarist from Yes gathered an impressive group of guest musicians, including Genesis' Phil Collins and Steve Hackett and King Crimson's John Wetton. Most importantly, the whole album was written and recorded with Netherlands guitarist Jan Akkerman (of Focus). The first six tracks make up a suite (early themes are recapitulated toward the end) ranging from acoustic duets ("Visions of the King") to full-blown instrumental progressive rock numbers ("Knights") that bear noticeable similarities with some material Steve Hackett would record for his first solo album Voyage of the Acolyte. Overall the material is engaging for the prog fan and is worthy of the attention of anyone fond of Steve Hackett's mid-'70s albums. "Beyond the Loneliest Sea" is a delicate Akkerman tune, while "Stop That!" is an extended jam of medium interest (Banks and Akkerman trade some nice solos). Two Sides of Peter Banks is the most progressive effort the guitarist released after his departure from Yes. Fans of Genesis and Focus should find it an important addition to their collections.
Condition: EX/EX
Both sleeve and vinyl are in excellent condition. The label, on side one, has a mark where a sticker was removed. I believe this was an EMI Factory Sample and the mark is where the EMI sticker was removed. Otherwise, all is excellent with only moderate signs of age.
The records are graded visually, using the Record Collector grading system (see below). Where applicable, the sleeve is graded first, followed by the vinyl.
