UK KEY RECORDS 1970 - ORIGINAL COPY OF VERY RARE LP!

This is a wonderful but little-known gem from 1970. A Christian Heavy/ Psych group 'OUT OF DARKNESS' made a cutting psych LP here.The lyrics delivered with conviction, great biting progressive guitar with 'rough edge' attack. Superb Hendrix  Inspired Psychedelic Rock LP. Their rare only album, have some religious overtones, as it appeared on the religious 'Key' record label in England, but as a group, it's pretty amazing.The London-based outfit were very competent musicians and the material on this album ranges from Heavy/Psych through to Jazz/Blues. This is one of the most sought after British Progressive albums!!!

Members: Carl Grant (bass, bongos) Ray Powell ( lead and acoustic guitars) Tony Goodman (vocals, harmonica, acoustic guitars) Tim Anderson (drums)

From 1968 to 1974 the UK London band ‘Out of Darkness’ forged a new form of multi-cultural Gospel Blues rock music and are now seen as forerunners to spiritually influenced artists such as U2, the Alarm, After the Fire and the Stone Roses.

They started their career playing London rock club venues and regional theater concerts then toured England and Scotland several times and performed at the National Jazz and Blues Festival.

Rock festivals followed with BBC and international radio and TV coverage. Jammed with blues guitarist Peter Green from Fleetwood Mac and with reggae star Barry Ford.

Originally signed to Key Records in 1969 the band recorded one studio LP ‘Out of Darkness’ and a live set on the ATV Mobile at the Free Trade Hall Manchester, during 1970 UK ‘Sound Vision’ tour. The Studio LP is regarded as an outstanding example of late 60s/early 70s rock music and is, at a price, highly collectable.

This is often spoke of in the same tones as LPs by DARK and FOREVER AMBER. Musically it is similar in sound to Hendrix's Axis: Bold As Love. This was selling for $700+ 15 years ago.
