Circus. 1969 England


Most famous for featuring Mel Collins on flute and sax, later of King Crimson. For what this is, it's outstanding. Jazzy progressive instrumental work, with fantastic musicianship and great tones. But, and it's a big but, most of the material are cover tunes. Some are more recognizable than others, and pretty much feature extended, improvised, and original jams on most tracks. So, as I said, about as good as it can get for the limited style.

Former ownership: CD: 2005 Arcangelo (Japan). Papersleeve edition.

My first copy was the Get Back LP reissue.

2000 (first listen); 5/11/17 (review / new entry); 2/18/24
