Prog Temple present a reissue of The People Band's self-titled album, originally released in 1970. Containing musicians that also worked with Pete Brown, Mike Westbrook, Ian Dury, Soft Machine, and others, this musical collective coalesced in London in 1968, and soon came to the attention of jazz aficionado Charlie Watts, who financed and oversaw a recording session that October. Improvised, anarchic, and utterly original, the results are comparable to the contemporary work of Amalgam and the Spontaneous Music Ensemble, and this self-titled makes a long-awaited return to CD here.

"Following on from their only prior published recording (1968 reissued on Emanem 4102), here are over two hours of previously unissued recordings from 1969 and 1970, featuring: Mel Davis, Terry Day, Lynn Dobson, Eddie Edem, Tony Edwards, Mike Figgis, Russell Hardy, Adam Hart, Charlie Hart, Terry Holman, Iain Jacobs, Paul Jolly, George Khan, Albert Kovitz, Michael O'Dwyer (Spoon), Davey Payne, Butch Potter, Geoffrey Prowse & Rose Widdison. Very different musics recorded in four very different locations: (1) a studio session in a central London studio; (2) an indoor jam at Mel Davies' house in north London; (3) a quintet club gig at the Paradiso in Amsterdam; & (4) two outdoor jams in Trent Park woods near London. This was around the time the People Band was ejected from the Anarchists Annual Ball for being too musically anarchic. 128 minutes -- previously unissued."
