A compilation dedicated to late sixties progressive as issued on contemporary UK Decca or Deram LP:s. Blending acts that now fifty years or so later seems to be more or less forgotten by the large public - like Touch, William R. Strickland, John Cameron Quartet, East Of Eden, Keef Hartley and Johnny Almond - with more familiar ones as Genesis, John Mayall, Moody Blues and Savoy Brown. Since all albums involved are today sought after and in some cases sold for big bucks it is a chance to at least get a taste of what was going on without losing shirt. You can always discuss track choices on compilations, but to my taste this is a quite all right mix of melodic and adventurous. As far as I know the original mono versions of these tracks were in most (all?) cases folds, so it's safe to say the ones here are too. Audio shifts depending on original recordings, but most sounds good and non bad. Never heard its stereo counterpart, but guess that could take me even further. Originally also released on vinyl in France, Germany, Israel and Downunder, but to my knowledge never on CD. Premiere UK mono had label as shown here in a laminated cover with die-cut hole on rear and red rim inner. (SÄM*) (YMÖ*)
