MIGHTY BABY Vinyl & CDs

Review: Made up of five former members of English mod band The Action, Mighty Baby - Alan King, Martin Stone, Ian Whiteman, et al. - later went on to explore the festival circuit a hell of a lot more, in the process fleshing out their proggier bent, far higher on the pH scale than releases under the former name. In the wake of several members' introduction to Sufism, the band took a spiritual turn, and this rare recording from Glastonbury 1971 is a delicious highlight of that era, in turn an offshoot of the compilation album of the same name. Now reissued after being sifted from an original stash of tapes, Trading Places have successfully reignited the memory of this hitherto unsung project.
