First reissued by Guerssen Records in 2012 and out of print for many years, here's a new, improved repress of this UK psych holy grail. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAxe\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (known also as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAxe Music\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and finally \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eCrystalline\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e by the time they recorded their rare acetate) were an obscure British psych band led by acid-rock guitar player extraordinaire \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eTony Barford\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and graced by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eVivienne Jones\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e ethereal vocals. The band hailed from Northampton (home also of their mates \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eDark\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eDark Round The Edges\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e fame). In 1970, they recorded a demo album of which only 12 copies were pressed as a demo acetate. Here's a straight reissue of this legendary artifact, as the previous \"reissue\" on the Kissing Spell label from 1993 and credited to Axe was altered without the band consent and included newly edited tracks, artificial echo\/phasing effects, altered song titles... Here you'll find the acetate recording on its pure form: 100% unadulterated heavy psych and acid-rock sounds full of raw, fuzzed-out guitars and dreamy female vocals. Four impressive original songs plus a long, psyched to the max cover of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLove\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's \"A House Is Not A Motel\" which has to be heard to be believed. Carefully remastered from an original acetate copy in 24-bit. Unfortunately, no masters survived and no 100% clean copies are known to exist of the original acetates, but you'll get the best result for the possibilities. New artwork (the original acetate came in blank sleeve); insert with unseen pictures and liner notes by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaul Cross\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (Sweet Floral Albion). \"...\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis is possibly the finest example of British underground psychedelia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e...\" --\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"30- Forced Exposure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56732078801269,"sku":"4040824091576","price":5.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8300\/2485\/files\/GUESS205LP_THMB.jpg?v=1770890856","url":"https:\/\/warmvibevinyls.com\/products\/crystalline-axe-music-lp-guerssen-reissue","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
