Prog Temple present a reissue of Smokey Circles Album, originally released in 1970. This enigmatic collection of sophisticated pop was the result of a collaboration between the British Ralph Murphy and the Israeli Shmuel Kraus, who had previously worked together in The High Windows. Originally issued in April 1970, it sank without trace, but has gone on to become a considerable collector's item and makes a welcome return to CD here.

Prog Temple present a reissue of Dewey Terry's Chief, originally released in 1972. As half of the legendary R&B duo Don & Dewey (alongside Don "Sugarcane" Harris), Dewey Terry was responsible for numerous classic songs, and toured alongside Jimi Hendrix in Little Richard's Band. After a period out of the spotlight, he resurfaced in 1972 with this lost classic, a fun and funky stew of blues, soul, and rock that was produced by Bill Szymczyk (shortly to find fame for his work with the Eagles), and features guest appearances from Harvey Mandel, Jim Horn, and others. It makes its long-overdue CD debut here, together with background notes and images.

Prog Temple present a reissue of Tennent - Morrison, originally released in 1972. This duo of Glaswegian John Tennent and American David Morrison were co-managed by Peter Grant, of Led Zeppelin fame, and made this collection of acoustic-based ballads and pop-rockers in London in the summer of 1972, with backing from members of Stone The Crows (with whom they toured the UK that September). One of the rarest albums of the period, it makes a long-overdue return to CD here.

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.

Prog Temple present a reissue of Joe Soap's Keep It Clean, originally released in 1973. Having released their debut album in 1972 (PT 8071CD), with backing from Stone The Crows and others, in 1973 John Tennent and David Morrison went in another direction, embracing gritty blues-rock. Keep It Clean sank without trace upon its first release at the end of that year, but has since gained a strong cult reputation, not least because of the superb contributions from Jimmy McCulloch (by then of Wings), Mik Kaminski (of ELO), and others.

Prog Temple present a reissue of Osiris's self-titled album, originally released in 1982. The tiny Arab island of Bahrain was no hotbed of rock music in the 1970s -- but that's where this superb band hailed from. Equally influenced by top UK progressive bands (Camel, Yes, Jethro Tull) and their own musical heritage, they played a deft and melodic brand of keyboard-heavy prog that could easily have found success in the West. Their debut album was originally issued in a tiny pressing in their homeland in 1983, and makes a welcome return to CD here, together with background notes.

Prog Temple present Dead Sea Fruit's self-titled album, originally released in 1967.This good-humored British quintet have been likened to the Kinks, the Mothers of Invention, and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.

Originally released in April 1967, it makes its long overdue CD debut here, together with background notes and images.

Prog Temple present a reissue of East Of Eden's New Leaf, originally released in 1971. East Of Eden had an unexpected top ten UK hit with "Jig-A-Jig" in early 1971. By that time they had undergone various changes in personnel and musical approach, though they were still led by violinist Dave Arbus (who guested on The Who's "Baba O'Riley" the same year). New Leaf was originally issued that November and found the band in fine form with a mixture of progressive and more laidback material. It makes a welcome return to CD here, together with background notes and images.

Prog Temple present a reissue of the sole album by Oliver Chaplin, Standing Stone, originally released 1974. Recorded on a farm in rural Wales without a thought to commercial considerations, Standing Stone melds Delta blues with biting psychedelic guitar, acid folk and a range of production effects (by Oliver's brother Chris, an engineer who'd worked on Jimi Hendrix's BBC sessions). The result is a unique blast of counter-cultural energy - a work of peculiar genius. Ultra-rare in its original vinyl incarnation, it makes its long overdue return to CD here.

Prog Temple present a reissue of Out Of Darkness's self-titled album, originally released in 1970. Initially formed as a trio in 1967, by the spring of 1969, Out Of Darkness had become a powerful quartet, fueled by the Hendrix-inspired guitar heroics of Wray Powell. Featuring both black and white members, and conveying their Christian message through the medium of loud post-psychedelic rock'n'roll, they amazed and confounded audiences in equal measure. This long-awaited reissue of their classic album, comes with background notes and images.

Prog Temple present a vinyl reissue of Assagai's self-titled album, originally released in 1971. Assagai's debut for Philips's progressive subsidiary Vertigo was realized in 1971 to quiet applause. Critics soon became favorable as Afro-rock gained a foothold as the "next big thing" and it wasn't long before they would make their (only) appearance on Top of the Pops. Their journey in London's predominantly progressive underground music scene was brief, but also established a further chapter in the annals of Afro-rock alongside Black Velvet, Osibisa, Thor's Anvil, Uhuru and the Cosmic Grass Band. Numerous musical figures were assembled from the South African and Nigerian communities resident in London at the time with contributions from Dudu Pukwana, Fred Coker, Ayinde Folarin (Demon Fuzz) and Fred Fredericks (Jimmy James And The Vagabonds). An unlikely partnership with progressive-folk legends Jade Warrior would provide backing on their 1971 Zimbabwe LP (KH 9012CD), co-writing material for their self-titled debut. Unbeknownst to Jade Warrior at the time, they were part of a combined contract with their label mates. Assagai is as fresh and alive as it was when it was recorded in 1971, hypnotic in its rhythm and tantalizing in its mix of punctured brass and provocative vocals. Their ruthless brand of handsome rhythm offers copious potent vibes, but simultaneously employs a simple narrative achieving an elementary perspective of London's rapidly changing times.

Prog Temple present a reissue of Assagai's Zimbabwe, originally released in 1971. Led by South African saxophonist Dudu Pukwana, Assagai spearheaded the UK's so-called "Afro-rock" movement in the early '70s. The lost classic Zimbabwe is their second and last album, and originally appeared in the UK only in 1971. Featuring guest appearances from Jade Warrior (who also contribute some songs), Zimbabwe is an extremely funky blast from start to finish. Includes insert. "This is a blast, and will definitely appeal to Afro-rock heads" --Galactic Ramble.

Prog Temple present a vinyl reissue of Boxer's second album Absolutely, originally released in 1977.

The lineup proved volatile and short-lived, but they did tape this lost classic of melodic hard rock in 1977, with producer Jeff Glixman, red-hot from his association with Kansas. Reissued on vinyl for the first time since 1977. Comes with insert including background notes and images.

Prog Temple present a reissue of Heads Hands & Feet's self-titled album, originally released in 1971. It took British band Heads, Hands & Feet just one gig to land what was at the time the biggest record advance ever offered by the U.S. record industry to a UK band - a massive half-million dollars up front. But this was not just one potentially hip new band, but a collection of seasoned pros who knew their way around a studio. Consisting of guitar virtuoso and multi-instrumentalist Albert Lee, bassist Chas Hodges, drummer Pete Gavin, guitarist Ray Smith, vocalist Tony Colton and keyboard player Mike O'Neill, their debut album, released as a single LP in the UK but a double in the US, is presented here as the original UK release and includes a CD version of the original 17 track US release. Although the band lasted for two more albums, the group proved to be more a staging post for its members who all went on to various degrees of success, except for Pete Gavin who took a job in the construction industry in Salem, Ohio. But as Tony Colton opined "Looking back, we were one hell of a band and on a good night we could blow anybody off stage." Includes insert.

Prog Temple present a vinyl reissue of Midwinter's The Waters of Sweet Sorrow, originally released in 1993. Midwinter's now legendary status in the field of acid-folk had only been established when their 1973 demo recordings were unveiled to a wider audience 20 years after their conception. Until then, Midwinter had existed only in local knowledge and in the shadows of Stone Angel, the post-Midwinter outfit whose privately-pressed self-titled album from 1975 (PT 8026CD) has since commanded deserved attention by fans and collectors alike. Also included in this retrospective edition is the earliest-known recordings by Midwinter/Stone Angel front-man Ken Saul, taken from his highly rare and sought-after debut single from 1970. Includes detailed liner notes. Digitally remastered.

Caleb Quaye, Ian Duck, David Glover (later replaced by Freddy Gandy), and Roger Pope were session musicians who'd acted as Elton John's backing band before embarking on a recording career themselves in 1971. Over the course of four studio LPs and one live set, they established themselves as one of the UK's most musical rock bands, drawing on rock 'n' roll, country, funk, blues, and more, with Quaye standing out as a truly exceptional guitarist. This double compilation initially appeared in 1975, following their split in 1974, and includes a cross-section of material from their studio albums, as well as four previously unreleased tracks. It's reissued here for the first time, together with background notes and images.
