| | Description: | Formed out of the ashes of the legendary UK mod-pop group, The Action, Mighty Baby kept much of that groupâ??s soul-inflected pop-psych sound but upped the psych ante quite considerably. Mighty Baby stands as one of the most cohesive and coveted of 1960s UK psych. It is the complete package, blistering guitar work from Martin Stone, studio trickery, amazing songwriting, great vocals, this record is the real deal and fully deserving of its reputation. The band would go on to record with legends like Keith Christmas, Sandy Denny, and more, as well as record a second album in 1971, but nothing can surpass the pure psych perfection of their debut. - Mighty Baby evolved out of the Action, club favourites who released a number of poor-selling singles. Dropped by Parlophone, musical chairs saw Ian Whiteman (keyboards/flute) and Martin Stone (guitar) join and the music now blended progressive psychedelia with longer pieces dominated by instrumental prowess rather than Reggie King's soulful vocals. King departed and guitarist Alan King and Whiteman began to share vocal duties on newly penned material like 'Egyptian Tomb' and 'House Without Windows' that, in retrospect, can be seen as reflecting light from the dark star of the Grateful Dead. "Mighty Baby" was first released on the Head label on 7th November 1969 in a superb gatefold sleeve with artist Martin Sharp serving up the arresting front cover that looked like a lion being showered in blood. The album received positive reviews, with International Times stating "The music has a hundred characters... Eastern, Oriental, country, folk, rock, blues, pop etc. Etc... At this moment in time Mighty Baby's record is simply THE best thing in it's class." The album is now seen as a progressive rock classic; cohesive, with no low spots, the inventiveness and musical prowess on a par with the equally revered, albeit jazzier, prog rock band Cressida. This latest edition from Ace, not only replicates the gatefold sleeve of the original but also contains an inner sleeve replete with memorabilia from the collection of Richard Morton Jack"Mighty Baby" is a must-have purchase not only for fans of the band but those who want to discover this classic progressive rock album for the first timePrinted inner sleeve with notes & photos.
The LP "Mighty Baby (Gatefold Sleeve)" by the band Mighty Baby is a highly sought-after reissue from Ace Records, capturing the essence of late 1960s British psychedelic rock. Originally released in 1969, this self-titled debut album showcases Mighty Baby's unique blend of blues, folk, and jazz influences wrapped in swirling guitar work and intricate arrangements. The gatefold sleeve edition offers collectors not only superior sound quality but also beautifully restored artwork that pays homage to the original release. Ace Records is renowned for its dedication to preserving classic recordings with meticulous attention to detail and high production standards. Formed from members of The Action, Mighty Baby quickly gained cult status with their innovative approach and musicianship; though short-lived as a group, they left an indelible mark on the UK underground scene with tracks like "Egyptian Tomb" and "A Friend You Know But Never See." This LP remains a testament to their creative legacy. | | | Vinyl: |
