A FEW OF THE ITEMS WE WANT...
 | OCTOPUS Restless Night (Ultra rare 1970 UK 10 track stereo vinyl LP.
Originally named The Cortinas, this mid-60's Hatfield based quartet
supported Yes and Status Quo among others in their early days and
released this one and done album which is afascinating blend of early
70's pop with tinges of psychedelia & space rock, with musical phrases
and choruses highly reminiscent of The Beatles and 10cc. Complete
with the era's typical fuzz guitar and swirly organ it was all too short
livedas sadly they decided to split up in 1972. Their keyboard player
John Cook later joined Mungo Jerry whereas bassist Nigel Griggs and
drummer Malcolm Green, both moving to Australia, eventually
became members of Split Enz. All housed in a wonderfully striking
gatefold picture sleeve which displays light edge and corner wear due
to age, whilst the vinyl itself carries minimal signs of previous play
with mild hairlines but nothing to upset play. All amazing considering
its 55 years in the wild and overall a fantastic example of this
incredibly collectable time capsule and the first we have ever seen-
