A Time Before This (2LP)

Debut, double album by musician/sci-fi writer Julian Jay Savarin. Originally released on Miki Dallon’s Youngblood label in 1970, this is a classic since the early days of record collecting.

Hammond dominated, spacey, psychedelic prog-rock with long tracks, cool female vocals and a cosmic, sci-fi concept vibe.

This reissue features the original gatefold sleeve, master tape sound in 180g vinyl, and detailed liner notes by Andy Morten (Shindig!). Essential to anyone into early UK prog-rock!
