Secret Oyster

'Sea Son'

CBS, Holland, 1974

CBS 80489

IMPRESSIVE OBSCURE and now rare heavy mainly instrumental Danish progressive jazz rock band working the same ground as say Running Man, Heaven, Nucleus and Weather Report. Heavy riffing embellished with blasts of well timed sax and great long tracks that take you away on a fabulous mystical journey.

Clearly the band meant business as all the tracks harness a degree of intensity that burns long and deep. The music suggests that they were more interested in the more complex side of jazz rock as the riffs and themes kick hard and take no prisoners.

Never an easy one to find, even in Denmark, the album has become something of an in-demand item from both prog rock heads and serious jazz fusionists.

This auction is part of a fantastic collection of seventies rock which I was lucky enough to acquire. Most of these records were stored with the utmost care and sparsely played. Some were possibly never played or may have been for just a handful of times.
