Having a re-listen to this one as was distracted a bit first time through, it is a pretty good album, lovely swirling organ, with ethereal violin, parts have a Curved Air feel with touches of Procol Harum, good stuff.

Both the Cressida's are top notch prog. I lean more to the 1st album, but they are both highly regarded and expensive as Vertigo originals

Jericho: Same Title. CD reish.
mostly overlooked 3rd album from a band that started as The Churchills in Israel, came to the UK renamed as Jericho Jones for their 2nd and then did this as their last in '72. Seriously good rifferama..
wind the volume to 15.. dessert Island stuff..

This has to be one of their best albums, mind you I probably love them all, each is slightly different, but this one seems to pull together musical elements from the earlier albums in a very stylish and well constructed way, whilst still feeling like a fluid rock band.

One of my favourites too. Got a NM copy at a car boot sale, early pressing, with textured inner sleeve and "obi strip".

BB King - Live at the Regal
one of those live albums that takes you to a different place, sounds wonderful in DSD.
Letting go and relaxing
is the most ‘in control’ thing you can do
