Second Hand - Death May Be Your Santa Claus CD (expanded)

Great to see this very odd album reappear, now in a newly remastered edition, which includes 3 tracks not on the original album. This is definitely proto-progressive UK styled underground rock, with a lot of invention and ideas being shot about - some of them more successfully than other, but at least they have fresh ideas! When Second Hand finally wound down, the keyboardist and drummer later went onto 'fame' as Seventh Wave!
"Second Hand's debut album, Reality, is widely acclaimed as one of the best psychedelic albums to have emerged from the UK in the late 1960s. The follow-up, Death May Be Your Santa Claus, originally issued in April 1971, is a similar milestone in the progressive genre. Originally recorded as the soundtrack to an obscure underground movie, it's a dark, dense and challenging masterwork combining uniquely experimental compositions with wild organ playing and complex rhythms. The included 12-page booklet provides album and band history, along with rare photos, offering additional insight into this influential release."
