Manfred Mann Chapter III (1969)

Was prompted to check this out via Elijah Wood of all people, lol. Pretty cool, jazzy, lots of Dr. John influence.

Not worked my way through the entire thread yet, but surprised that the 1st 2 Atomic rooster lps are on there and nt Death Walks Behind You which is the one I'd really go for. With John (du) Cann's guitar blazing against Vincent Crane's organ.

Death IS the second one, actually, and I think the US version of the 1st one had added Du Cann guitars and vocals!

For some reason I was thinking In Hearing Of came before it, but no you're right. Wonder why OP skipped it though.

There's also now a Lost Broadcasts set which has a few tracks by that line up plus a few more by the Chris Farlowe line-up on dvd from German tv.

Oh, that's me. Well, if you look again you'll see that Death Walks Behind you was ranked #22 on my list. The others past the top 50 are listed alpha.

Horse - For Twisted Minds Only (Rise Above Relics, 1970) Oct 14

Formed in South London during the late sixties, Horse were a band creating occult influenced progressive hard rock, ahead of its time. Guitarist Rod Roach had briefly played in an incarnation of British psych-rock legends Andromeda before forming Horse with other key member, vocalist Adrian Hawkins. Alongside bassist Colin Standring, the band also featured legendary drummer Ric Parnell, later of Atomic Rooster (amongst many others) and future star of This is Spinal Tap (aka Mick Shrimpton)!

A favourite amongst collectors for many years (with original mint copies today trading in excess of £400), Horse is an album long overdue an official reissue. Recorded in 1969, originally released in 1970 and bootlegged countless times from scratchy vinyl transfers, Rise Above Relics can finally present you with this detailed release mastered and cut directly from the original master tapes. Featuring a treasure trove of previously unheard/unreleased material, For Twisted Minds Only is certain to have connoisseurs and collectors of the period literally frothing at the bit.
