One of my better scores from the "early days of ebay", when folks were still dumping vinyl but the well-heeled buyers had yet to discover the internet. The cover is a fixture of my "wall of albums", though low enough so I can reach to play it on occasion. Which of course I rarely do. One of the charter members of my Yacht Prog designation, New Zealand's Dragon play a sophisticated form of melodic progressive rock with commercial sensibilities. Similar to Sebastian Hardie, later Fruupp, and Kestrel. Dragon went on to become pop stars in Australia and released many albums which I've not heard. It's easy to see the band crossing over to that realm, as there's evidence of that sound here.
Ownership: LP: 1975 Vertigo (Australia). Single sleeve. Online acquisition from a German dealer (2002). Stunning cover really.
I started with a bootleg CD (1994) that's been since sold off. All these years later, and this title has avoided a legitimate reissue (as of 11/28/24). Aztec never got to it like they did with the debut.
