A FEW OF THE ITEMS WE WANT...
 | COMPLEX Complex (Holy Grail Garage Psych 1971 UK 11-track LP,
privately pressed in Scotland & limited to just 99 copies to avoid tax
costs, complete with the home-made wraparound picture sleeve which
is signed on the back in blue biro by the bassist, Lance Fogg.
This mythically rare record is only ever spoken about in hushed terms
& in the Acid Archives as "one of the 'Holy Trinity' items of rare British
psychedelia [the other two being Dark and Forever Amber]," & never
actually found……. Until now. Hypnotic, naïve, dreamy, lo-fi, Acid
Garage Psych for the hardcore collector - See 'more info' for further
history & condition details CLPM001)
Tracklisting: Complex were formed in Blackpool & consisted of lead guitarist Brian Lee, rhythm guitarist Tony Fisher, bassist Lance Fogg & lead vocalist and drummer Tony Shakespeare. The album was hastily recorded under primitive circumstances at "107 Studio" in St. Annes & cut for record at Craighall Studios in Scotland. EMI offered the band an audition but a recording deal never bore fruit. This album was recorded ostensibly for demo purposes. Just ninety-nine copies were pressed due to the imposition of purchase tax on quantities greater than 99. This record is essentially a promotional only item for bringing the band to the attention of major record companies for the purpose of obtaining a recording contract.
Musically the album is notable for its homemade, organ driven, US Garage type sound [via sunny Blackpool!]. “Witch's Spell” for instance has a very fuzzed-up, psychedelic appeal with guitars upfront. “Self Declaration” opens the second side with lengthy, almost Iron Butterfly-like excursions, with the whole album ultimately staying within the confines of its small-town, teenage dreams, headset. This one is sure to please collectors of true underground British psychedelia of the late sixties, early seventies.
Condition :-
The sleeve is a primitive wraparound design & held together by tape along the "spine", with tape residue along the top & bottom edges where it was once sealed, but ultimately couldn't house the record due to the weight of the LP!Other than a couple of tiny thumbnail splits at the far reaching edges, the panels are clean & vivid with all text clearly legible & no other blemishes. Lance Fogg's signature is clearly visible in blue against the white surround on the back & he has also penned a small 'L' on the side one label, all of which confirms this was one of his original personal copies.
The record sounds as good as it could possibly be given the low grade vinyl. Both sides are clean & playback reveals merely the lightest bit of natural surface during the quieter sections. There are a few very faint cosmetic scuffs which can not be felt & do not affect play. There are no heavier marks or scratches & the vinyl is Excellent. Very much a dream find for the right collector! | | COMPLEX Complex (Holy Grail Garage Psych 1971 UK 11-track LP,
