Symphonic Rock (1973)

Such a strange album, this one is. The album is as exactly stated: Symphonic Rock. Yes, it's an orchestra that rocks. All instrumental, all original material, with some nice fuzz guitar. Side 2 is better than the first. If it were Italian, it would sell for $1,000 as a Library Classic. It's American and looks like one of those 1967 exploito albums your dad had in his collection, and he couldn't explain how it got there. Way out of date for 1973. No idea where these guys are from. The label is more known for 45 singles. Incidentally, it appears all the copies are promos
