Vertigo/Universal (Japan), 1970. New Copy ... $13.99
A jammingly progressive set from Beggars Opera – a short-lived British group with plenty of great organ work from Alan Park!

Fiercely progressive jazz from one of England's best!

Vertigo (Japan), 1970. New Copy ... $13.99
A really fantastic little record – one that's got plenty of sinister touches in all the right ways – but never at a level that's too overblown or in love with itself!

Vertigo/Universal (Japan), 1970. New Copy ... $13.99
A beautiful classic from Magna Carta – a British group with a sound that's a lot more down to earth than you'd guess from their name – which maybe implies the sort of majesty you'd usually hear from a prog group! Instead, the trio have a very charming, down to earth approach – ... (Rock) read more CD

The second album in a too-short run from May Blitz – and a set that has the trio stepping out with even more power than on their debut!
