Reissue, originally released in 1970. 1970, the year prog rock broke!
A Time Before This
was the sole album of British cultish band
Julian's Treatment
. Fronted by sci-fi author/keyboards player
Julian Jay Savarin
the band became an extra-cult because of their lyrics and arrangements extravaganza. Savarin -- who later embraced a solo career -- was born in Dominica and moved to Britain in the early sixties. He started rehearsing with
John Dover
(bass),
Del Watkins
(guitar),
Jack Drummond
(drums), and Australian born
Cathy Pruden
(vocals). In June '70, the label Youngblood released their first album
A Time Before This
. Based after a survivalist concept the album still stands as an original artefact of the time, still maintaining a sort of baroque feel. Leader Savarin keyboards maybe all over the place (with that sort of proto-hard church organ feel), but a virtuoso rhythm section and the vocal performance of Cathy Pruden (imagine a crossing line between
Julie Driscoll
and
Grace Slick
) makes the record feel embraceable overall. Fully licensed. 180 gram vinyl; edition of 500.
