Gass, England


Gass - s/t (aka Juju). 1970 Polydor.

Strange album, this one is. Hard to describe, but I'd say that Gass is to UK blues rock what East of Eden's "Mercator Projected" is to world fusion. It's a grab bag of styles, including much of what we track here (psych, prog, underground). Blues rock is the root system, with plenty of instrumental sections featuring organ, flute, fuzz guitar, percussion - and of course, downer vocals. Peter Green joined them for awhile after leaving Fleetwood Mac. Would make for a good CD reissue from someone like Esoteric.

Priority: 3
