Auger, Brian / Oblivion Express - ’70 Super Pop Montreux CD
SKU
28-RPR1014852.2
Very early jazz/rock/R’n’B from Auger and his follow up band to The Trinity. This was recorded before the band’s first album and shows a very ‘rough and tumble’ approach to the idea of jazzing up rock. There’s some real surprises here (Herbie Hancock’s Maiden Voyage! John McLaughlin’s Dragon Dragon Song!) and this made me think of a long ago time when it all had NOT been already done!
“First ever release of this recording done live at Montreux Super Pop 1970. Taken from the original archive tapes. Includes a 12-page booklet with an interview of Brian Auger on this performance. Mono. Approx. 60 minutes of music.
In October 1970, Brian Auger returned to Montreux with his new outfit, Oblivion Express for one of their Super Pop events. Sharing the bill with Ginger Baker's Air Force, this performance is available for the first time, and the sound quality has been restored and improved.”
