COLONEL ELLIOTT AND THE LUNATICS: Interstellar Reggae LP
Reissue, originally released in 1973. What if Lee Perry and Lex Baxter have been caught in a firetrap altogether? A weird experiment in dub and reggae coined in 1973, the sole album of this interstellar venture was a case in point. Jamaican rhythms (provided by the almighty Trojan Records crew) with legendary prog/psych keyboardist Ken Elliot (former member of influential British bands such as Second Hand and Seventh Wave) creating groovy instrumental on top. Ten tracks including the Joe Meek classic "Telstar" and a spacey rendition of The Skatalities' "Guns Of Navarone" (aptly named "Guns Of The Martian Giants") for an album that might sounds like a Caribbean easy listening session on dope. A true gem on its own, incredible strange music for the suburbs. Fully remastered and licensed.
