Description
SAMURAI 's/t' LP (Spain, Guerssen, Catalogue #GUESS071) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited Guerssen label LP edition of very scarce 1971 UK Prog Rock LP by Samurai (originally released in 1971 on the Greenwich Gramophone Company label.)
(NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION!)
'Classic progressive rock album. Samurai is truly a lost classic of the progressive era. Released on the short-lived Greenwich Gramophone label in 1972, the album was influenced by the experiments of groups such as King Crimson, Gentle Giant et al, but was more than a mere clone of these bands. Evolving from the equally excellent band Web (whose album I Spider is a classic of the genre), the musicianship on the album was excellent and keyboard player Dave Lawson's compositions were groundbreaking and memorable. Sadly, the group disbanded shortly after the release of the record, resulting in limited sales. However, the influence of the album was not lost as both Dave Lawson and Tony Reeves soon joined Dave Greenslade to form the group Greenslade, effectively taking up the musical mantle laid down by Samurai.'
