Description
THE SOFT MACHINE
‘VOLUMES ONE & TWO’
Original 1973 1st Issue UK Pressed Double Stereo Lp Housed In A Gatefold Sleeve.
A Combination Of Their First Two Studio Albums On One Double Lp Set (This Was The First Time Volume 1 Was Made Available To The UK Market As It Was Originally A US Issue Only). Their First (Originally Titled The Soft Machine, From 1968), Recorded With The Trio Of Wyatt, Ratledge, And Ayers, Combines Goofy Humor, Psychedelia, And Some Free Jazz Into An Erratic But Invigorating Brew That Was Comparable To Little Else In The Late-'60s Rock World. Ayers Had Left To Be Replaced By Hugh Hopper For 1969's Volume Two, Which Took A Definite Spin Toward Jazz And Increasingly Surrealistic Material, Stringing Together Whimsical Bits And Pieces For Side-Long Suites. Not As Pop-Oriented As Their Initial 1967 Recordings Or As Jazz-Oriented As Their Final Albums With Wyatt, The Material Compiled Here Is Perhaps The Best Representation Of The Soft Machine's Accomplishments.
The Lp Set Was Released On The Yellow ‘Probe’ Label (gtt 2041) And Comes To Auction In Ex+/Ex+/Ex+ Condition
