COVEN<br />
1970 Akarma / Italy<br />
Rock Hard 16,50 €<br />
LP - Witchcraft Destroys Minds and Reaps Souls AK 271 LP USA<br />
Coven's sound is inspired by the occult, as is immediately evident from their song titles and lyrics which<br />
speak of demons, witches and satanic rituals. This album, released in 1970, attracted many fans of the<br />
genre, in part because a track titled "Black Sabbath" and the presence of a bassist by the name of Oz<br />
Osborne gave the band an air of mystery, however, this American band is of no relation to their famous<br />
English counterparts. Coven nonetheless, bring us a high quality album, both from a musical and visual<br />
standpoint (thanks to the dramatic cover). Notable tracks include "Satanic Mass" (a full out black mass<br />
with all the trimmings).<br />
CREAM<br />
2005 Reprise / UK<br />
Rock 75,00 €<br />
LP - LIVE Royal Albert Hall 2005 - (3-LP-Box)<br />
Reprise 49416 UK<br />
Cream were, as has been reasonably argued, the world's first supergroup. Less contestably, they remain<br />
the best-ever supergroup until this day. When guitar deity Eric Clapton, bassist Jack Bruce and drummer<br />
Ginger (actually he's more silver these days) Baker reconvened for some box-office busting comeback<br />
shows at the Royal Albert Hall in 2005--some 37 years after the band had waved farewell at the very same<br />
venue--expectations ran high and the faithful weren't left short-changed. Royal Albert Hall is a splendid<br />
souvenir of a band who got their vibe back together for love, self-satisfaction and nostalgia. Nowhere is<br />
there any attempt to compromise the band's integrity, redefine the formula or extend the hand of friendship<br />
to a younger generation by toning down some of the more indulgent extravagances of their original era.<br />
You get the blues (in the case of "Stormy Weather" gloriously so, Clapton's fretwork is electric),<br />
psychedelia ("NSU"), that leviathan nine minute drum solo (Ginger's "Toad"), a novelty tune (Ginger's<br />
Kenneth Grahame on acid ditty "Pressed Rat and Warthog") and anthems of the magnitude of "Badge"<br />
and "Sunshine Of Your Love". Coming here as wonderful HPV-180 gr. Vinyl pressing and Half-Speed<br />
Mastered.<br />
CREME SODA<br />
1975 Trinity / EEC<br />
Psych 17,90 €<br />
LP - Tricky zingers<br />
CST 11 LA USA<br />
Col. Wax Vinyl Reissue of one and only album by USA psychedelic unit from Wisconsin who had the<br />
tracks "Tonight" and "Keep It Heavy" featured on the seminal Endless Journey psych compilations.<br />
Originally released on the Trinity label in 1975 the album is a fine mix of pure psych-pop, psychedelic soft<br />
rock and punky psych tracks some with great guitar breaks and strong harmony vocals. This album is a<br />
true treasure. Out of print. One copy left only.<br />
CRESSIDA<br />
1970 Akarma / Italy<br />
Prog. 12,90 €<br />
LP - CRESSIDA<br />
AK 182 LP UK<br />
Available again. Akarma reissue of this debut album first issued in 1970. An amazing Vertigo release that<br />
was the debut of one of the UK's finest early progressive rock bands. Along with bands such as Fantasy<br />
and T2 this is melodic and elaborate without ever becoming overbearing or pompous. In places<br />
orchestrated and decorated with beautiful vocals and Caravan like mellotron work, this is a fine example of<br />
what the term 'progressive' originally stood for. Beautiful heavy duty US style gatefold sleeve<br />
CRESSIDA<br />
1971 Akarma / Italy<br />
Prog. 16,50 €<br />
LP - ASYLUM<br />
AK 229 LP UK<br />
Cressida was an excellent British progressive rock band, authors of two memorable and still much soughtafter<br />
LP‘s. Their second album, Asylum, was even more successful as their first, thanks to the captivating<br />
atmospheres and the technical ability of the musicians. Angus Cullen's pleasing vocal style is at times<br />
surprisingly folkie, while Peter Jennings unveils enviable talent and class, especially in certain jazz<br />
passages. Guitarist John Culley does the rest with clean guitar solos that never sound dated. The whole<br />
album is high-quality, but tracks like "Munich", "Lisa" and the eleven minute "Let Them Come When They<br />
Will" are all time classics.<br />
