Cressida Asylum - 1st German vinyl LP album (LP record)
|
| Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
Cressida's Asylum is a fantastic example of early British symphonic Progressive Rock. It marries catchy Paul McCartney-esque vocals with adventurous instrumental sections. Superb vocal melodies regarded as some of the best from the Prog era coupled with charmingly naive lyrics
The instrumental sections have it's origins in the style typical of early '70s Prog Rock with the music driven by a dirty and mellow Hammond organ with classic piano, bass, guitar and drums. At times this sound was augmented with a small orchestra with violins, cellos, trumpets & timpani.
The first side of the album has a theme based on it's title with the second side featuring a couple of short filler tracks ending with a triumphant epic.
Widely regarded as the best album to come out of that school of early British symphonic Prog. This is beautiful, melancholic and mostly mellow and atmospheric. There is quite simply a British charm that blends it's morose charm with lovely orchestral Mellotron sounds that appear throughout the album.
If three words could describe this album then they would graceful, sublime and classic.
CONDITION
As previously stated the condition of this album is amazing with the large Vertigo Swirl label in an near unused condition with NO spindle marks to indicate play. The vinyl is equally brilliant with a bright shine that is hard to find on a two year old album, never mind a forty year old copy.
The sleeve is almost as good with only miniscule marks on the sleeve opening, with no creasing or marks that are usually evident on this issue. The spine is intact with no marks or crushing.
It's hefty price tag quite frankly reflects the quality of this issue which would be almost impossible to find again as good as this. This is the ONE.
Oh, and did I tell you it was near mint & German Issue!!??
