Curved Air Second British Rock Meeting 1972 CD

Live archive release. The Second British Rock Meeting 1972 is the third volume of the Curved Air Rarities Series. The sound quality is of astonishing fidelity for a live recording from the early 1970s and features the only known recordings of this line-up improvising! The last track is an extended jam and a version of the band's hit Vivaldi - lasting well over 30 minutes. The band had just released it's Phantasmagoria album and the line-up was Sonja Kristina, Darryl Way, Francis Monkman, Florian Pilkington-Miksa and Mike Wedgwood. The booklet features a written introduction by Francis Monkman, who mastered the audio and curated the release personally, along with two essays written by attendees at the festival and previously unseen pictures. These recordings capture a unique set from the band's heyday, their only recorded improvisations and all in unbelievable sound quality for a festival in the early '70s!
