Cirkus ‘One’ - mega-collectable Geordie progressive rock gem from 1973. (N.B. I only have it on an unofficial CD reissue should anyone feel tempted into breaking into my billet to nab it!) Kind of BJH-meets-Moodies-meets-Crimson in its mellotron rich sound. Although a bit sixth form lyrically, the music is excellently grandiose melodic rock with some no expense spared string arrangements. There are many more acclaimed records of this genre that can’t hold a candle to this; x


About 10 years ago I found an original vinyl pressing of this in a box of £1.50 LPs at a fair on Richmond Green. Sold it on eBay for £135, a 900% profit! From the same box I got an original Deram 'Sound Of Sunforest' fully autographed by the band. Still hanging on to that one until I get desperate enough to sell it. The stallholder specialised in jazz and clearly had no idea about the other stuff he was selling.
