First ever vinyl reissue of this UK prog-psych album from 1971. Recorded at George Martin’s AIR Studios and originally released on the collectable Vertigo label.

A great mix of pastoral prog, hard-rock, blues and West Coast/Americana: long tracks, soft vocal harmonies, dual guitar…

Hokus Poke formed in London in the late 60s, consisting of Clive Blenkhorn of lead guitar & vocals, Roger Clarke on guitar, Smith Campbell on bass and Jonnie Miles on drums.

Managed by Kenny Lynch, they secured a deal with the legendary Vertigo label. “Earth Harmony”, their sole album, was recorded at George Martin’s AIR Studios. Released in 1971, it was housed in a fabulous die-cut sleeve with photos taken by John Kelly, famous for his work on the Beatles “White Album”.

*One of the rarest albums on the collectable Vertigo label

*Original artwork in gatefold die-cut sleeve

*Insert with liner notes by Richard Allen and rare photos
