Description
Taking their name from Mervyn Peake's gothic fantasy novel, Titus Groan was a quartet lead by guitar/keyboardist and singer Stewart Cowell and wind player Tony Priestland. Their sound approaches the early UK prog (sometimes called proto-prog), all tracks being over 5 minutes long and often fronted by wind instruments is promising, but ultimately deceiving as the songs lack depth. Centred around the great 12-mins Hall Of Bright Carvings track (also a Peake theme), the album was released in early 1970 on the collectible Dawn label
Original rare progressive rock debut LP by TITUS GROAN This is sought after by collectors and regarded as a classic. on DAWN LABEL DNLS 3012 I believe this is 1st pressing: 3012A-3 & 3012B3 on inside - see my other listings for more DAWN label classics

PLEASE READ: I am selling around 30,000 vinyl LPs and Singles that were formerly the library of the British Forces Broadcasting Service on Cyprus. It is a mammoth task as there is no catalogue, so I am working through boxes which are by label and by the disc catalogue number. I've already found several rarities in the first box including rare Beatles, John Lennon, McCartney, Ringo releases, demo discs etc, so please look at my other items or save me as a favourite seller if you are a serious record collector.
I am not a record dealer but I will always try to describe my items accurately and answer any questions. If you are looking for a rarity, try me and I will look out for it as I work through the 30,000+ discs.
