This is the first official re-release on vinyl of COMPLEX`first album as a 2 LPs-set under licensed courtesy of Cherry Red Records Ltd, UK. The first eponymous album by COMPLEX is among the most sought-after artefacts of British Psychedelia. Only 99 copies of the album by this Blackpool-based band were pressed. Despite the fact the debut album was recorded in November 1970 it sounds like it`s a straight out of the Summer of Love. They tear open the album with a fire-breathing combo organ lead; �Funny Feeling� is a 3-part tune revealing two factors of the Complex sound � intelligent and endearing compositions filtered through fuzzy, raw energy. �Green Eyed Lucy�s� vibrating bass guitar groove helps strike the balance between blues, soul, and unbridled teenage garage. Gratuitous guitar shredding on �Witch�s Spell� and �sensitive� boppers like �Norwegian Butterfly�, seemingly written to get the lead singer, whose confident voice is a sweet surprise, some groupie action. �Self Declaration� features an epic Iron Butterfly-esque prog-organ solo and has lot of fuzzy quitar. Then there�s favorite track � the unexpected, wildly out-of-place but somehow perfect �Josie�. It�s a surprise that this group of white suburban kids could pull off a convincing reggae dancehall number, but a joy to hear the squeaky combo organ bouncing along with the ragtag orchestra backing this weird little number. Further highlights are �Witch`s Smell� and �Storm On Way� both notable for some punchy organ work & strong vocals. In January 1971, they departed for Craighall studios in Edinburgh, and over the course of the weekend, re-recorded two tracks from the LP, �Norwegian Butterfly� and �Images Blue� (both are as bonus title on our bonus album).Long Hair`s issue of this lost gem comes with a full-time bonus album (all titles are for the first time released on vinyl), containing some new remastered and better sounding alternate takes and a great cover of HUSH (Joe South/ Deep Purple) from a 7� acetate from 1970 and on Side 4 two long tracks (over 8 and 6 minutes long) from an 10� acetate from 1972. This is really great music. Album comes with new improved remastering, full band story, rare photos in a 4 sided cover sized insert sheet. Don`t miss this special edition!
