Insanely hard to find US psych LP from 1969. Original first press with fold-out cover. This is a promo copy (see photo).
Stored vertically in a smoke free environment for over 48 years.
More info on the band from Wiki-leaks, uh, I mean Wikipedia: “Allmusic author, Wilson Neate, stated this of the group, "High Tide had the muscularity of a no-nonsense proto-metal band, but they also ventured into prog territory with changing time signatures and tempos, soft-hard dynamics, multi-part arrangements, and even some ornate faux-Baroque interludes".
High Tide made their first recordings as the backing band on Denny Gerrard's album Sinister Morning. Gerrard returned the favor by producing their first album, Sea Shanties, which was released in October 1969. Reviews in the underground press were universally positive, and sales were just enough to convince Liberty to give the green light to a second album.”
