John Bunyan's Progressive Pilgrims - Apricot Brandy and Albatross (Remastered from the Original Alshire Tapes) (2020) [Hi-Res]

Reissue of another great late '60s fuzz-psyxploitation album and a truly awesome relict from the 60s. Originally on the California-based Alshire label (also Electric Firebirds, Animated Egg).

Rumours exist that this album was actually recorded by X-ian rockers Wilson-McKinley, but we can neither admit nor deny this. Nevertheless, baring in mind that the band's name was borrowed from a book that describes a search for God, things tend to make sense. Apart from this, the music is awesome, raw and psychedelic and a great mix of heavy psych including Apricot Brandy and Summertime Blues etc plus similar sounding originals including Mozart’s Dilemma”, “Spaced Out” and “Winter Draws On”, full of fuzz guitar solos and screaming organs.

Recorded in London, England by our London recording director Mr. Jack Dorsey, "John Bunyans Progressive Pilgrims" make their debut on Alshire. A program of British rock compositions recorded in the "TODAY" sound of today's young generation. Out hats off to John Bunyan and his Pilgrims, we are sure we will be presenting more of their great sound to the young music lovers of the world in the near future.
