Chou Pahrot ~ Scotland

Chou Pahrot Live (1979)

With an instrumental focus on violin and electric guitar, sometimes played in a complex fashion, Chou Pahrot are about as close to the early High Tide albums as you'll find at this late of a date. Live recording could use a little polishing, though I do like the raw bass sound. Overall one of the best UK albums of the late 1970s, and one of the very few that weren't either punk, New Wave, or metal influenced.

Ownership: 1979 Klub (LP). Acquired in 1997.
