Description
TITLE : LODESTONE - time flies LP
LABEL / CAT # : PHILIPS / 6305 108
COUNTRY / YEAR OF RELEASE : GERMANY / 1971
DESCRIPTION : Very, very rare and obscure PROG masterpiece from LODESTONE.
They were a little-known UK band comprised of: PHIL CHESTERTON, JOHN DA COSTA, PETER HIGGS, GERRY MORRIS & JOHN HOLLIS.
(ex-members from various legendary British R&B/FREAKBEAT groups: THE CYMABLINE / IN-SECT / THE FLIES & INFINITY!!)
This unfairly overlooked 'lost' classic was recorded over a few weeks in 1970-71 and for some strange reason was only ever pressed in
small quantities in GERMANY with no fanfare or promotion! Making this, their only LP a scarce and sought-after rarity!
A concept-album of sorts with most songs blending seamlessly into one another.....consisting beautiful spacey vocals, mellow tracks, great arrangements, proggy riffs + a few tasty breaks open drums & basslines!! + orchestral parts played by Royal college of music.
Have a listen to the various snippets on the soundclip provided (four short excerpts taken from the actual record for sale).
Highly recommended album for prog fans, beatdiggers & intrepid collectors!! ...ORIGINAL GERMAN-ONLY PRESSING
TRACKLISTING : Inc: theme / the fault / crash landing / liberation / we arrive etc. (15 tracks in total over the two sides)
CONDITION : Vinyl: EXCELLENT/EX- (few very minor surface marks & minor hairlines only.
little typical crackle and surface noise in places - listen to attached soundclip)
In laminated GATEFOLD picture sleeve: EXCELLENT (small amount of laminate creasing + minor corner wear - see image)
