The strange cover illustration of peace signs, a priest, a flower child, an elephant, onion domes, a pagoda, a happy sun, etc. would seem to imply a fairly hip album lurking within. And indeed there is - guitarist and songwriter Tom Parker excels in the minor-key Catholic small-folk-band sound. Assisting Tom are Jim Rosch and John Nuttall who handle the vocals. Stripped down basic vibe, sometimes electric along the lines of label-mate Jack Miffleton. Nice tempo mix, the fast Latin feel of 'All You Nations' juxtaposed with brilliant mysterious ballads like 'Charlotte's Song'.
('The Archivist' - 4th Edition by Ken Scott)
One of my top 5 fave Xian LPs !

CAPTAIN MARRYAT - "Captain Marryat" (2009 Shadoks Reissue)
Still sealed exemplary (Shadoks reissue) of this monster heavy prog rarity !
Captain Marryat are from Glasgow, Scotland and recorded this demo album in 1974, released in a tiny pressing on the Thor label, hopefully to get an EMI or Chrysalis deal.
They wanted to record only a single but came up with a complete album of self-composed tracks.
Since it was not that easy for a Scottish band to get attention down in London, this album was the only pressing ever done and sold at band gigs only.
5 musicians, great organ, vocals, extra heavy fuzz-guitar, drums and bass, amazing underground songs, influenced by Deep Purple, Uriah Heep and Beggars Opera, a true lost classic.
Record : Still Sealed
Cover : Excellent (Still Sealed)
Price : 120,00 Euros (+ expedition costs calculated by the Belgian Post office)

Roland Kroell und Die Salpeterer - "Lieder und Balladen" (1977 German Trad & Acid Folk)
Completely unknown private pressing from Germany.
It resembles to the first Incredible String Band LP or the Holy Modal Rounders in the USA.
The singing is in German.
Roland Kroell traveled and lived in Scotland and in Ireland in the 70's and he studied there the Scottish and Irish folk music in pubs.
I can surely recommend this one to fans of trad & acidfolk.
