Regan was a huge prog fan in the 70s. Keith Emerson and Chick Corea are an influence and you can hear it in many of the compositions. When we met he was recounting his memories of seeing PFM at Central Park in NYC back in 1974. This is going to be a fun album to work on.

The 1981 re-issue (vinyl) is still available, from therecordlink.net, for $15 + shipping. I just ordered a copy.

Once I saw the cover of the second press, I remember seeing this at a record fair here in NEW ENGLAND, a couple of years back. Never bothered, as I thought it was free jazz, which I don't care for.

That was probably me :-) (if it was in the US. The AC bought his in the UK).

Thanks for the comment and letting me know

Scarab. 1983 private While the early 80s neo prog movement would seem solely the provenance of the UK, and most of the known progenitors are...
