Barnabus - Beginning to Unwind. 1972 England (archival)

Probably the best part of this album is the package itself. The music is definitely worthy of release though, if hard rock is your bag, and it most certainly is mine. The tunes aren't particularly memorable, but the guitar work is great, especially when distorted. References to May Blitz and Clear Blue Sky aren't too far off here. The sound isn't perfect (mostly noted when the music is soft), but it's more than OK for archival material. Probably will take some effort to familiarize myself with the music, but no question the overall presentation gives it room in the collection.

Ownership: CD: 2020 Rise Above. Incredible historical booklet with loads of info, photos, memorabilia, etc. Typical first class Rise Above effort. Comes in a slip case (the first cover). The second cover is the LP and the CD booklet.
