Peaceful
Unreleased 1970/73 material from brilliant Scottish prog-psych band. Their 1970 EMI LP 'Sister, Brother, Lover' is, rightly, a major collectible, with its mix of elegantly played and endlessly melodic tracks. A perfect companion piece, 'Peaceful,' collates top-quality unused material from two 1970 Apple acetates with tracks rescued from 1973 studio tapes. The result is a careful balance of driving but controlled progressive rock and spectral ballads enhanced by some truly majestic guitar work, great vocals and superb production. Morning maniac music: make some coffee, roll a joint, pull on your red loons and head into town. Fully laminated sleeve, printed inner with lyrics and repro acetate labels and insert with interview with Brian Young. Limited to 227 copies.
