One of the most underrated bands in the British style although I prefer both The American and German Styles as a whole. I ofc like some material from The Moody Blues,Azazel,Small Faces,Cream,The Hollies,Blossom Toes,Forever Amber,The Deviants,Andwellas Dream,and Ten Years After too (especially The Moody Blues and Cream although i find myself slipping over the more generic blues rock tracks of theirs). Think that The Beatles are critically overrated and Pink Floyd while alright never really fully clicked for me.
I was the only person in America that I knew who bought this when it first appeared in 1969. Never found anyone else who knew of them. Ian Whiteman would later work with Sandy Denny.
Martin Stone (11 Dec 1946, Woking, Surrey - 9 Nov 2016, Versailles, France) RIP Mike 'Ace' Evans ( 10 July 1945, Henley, Berkshire - 15 January 2010 ). RIP
Saw them playing this in 1970 at either the Roundhouse of The Lyceum. Such a great range of bands playing then that didn't make it big. High Tide, Andromeda, East of Eden, Audience; so many
Great list of bands that deserved far more exposure and appreciation than they received. We could add to that list of British bands of that period indefinitely, but I might suggest Julian's Treatment, Beggars Opera, Cressida, Gringo, Egg, Affinity, surely Curved Air, Piblockto, (early) Skin Alley, Diabolus, Raw Material, Bram Stoker, Clouds, Rare Bird, Aardvark, Jan Dukes de Grey, Gracious, Black Widow, Spirogyra, Gnidrolog....
@@rrozoff1 Great list of bands to check out. I thought it was pretty cool how Mike Rutherford name-checked Jan Dukes de Grey in the 'No Admittance' documentary and Tony Banks stills mentions their label-mates Rare Bird in interviews.
Love how the incorporated the lyrics from “Im a stranger” off the rolled gold album that was shelved. The song written by Martin stone about him self and good the brought the lyrics back
I hate to acknowledge it, as I consider the first Mighty Baby album to be among the very best of those of the golden age of progressive music, but you're right, there is a definite resemblance in tone at least, though the Mighty Baby progression is lengthier and more complex.
It's a warrior slaying a big cat by climbing on its back and slitting it's throat... Red is the blood and the blade is in his left hand but what is on top of his head is a little ambiguous....
@@mr.evasion My guess is that it was a amalgamation of a few creatures and birthed in a test tube, and this is the result of that birth; an explosion of the tube.
Still a brilliant album......loved the band.....
Absolutely
God the intro is freaking legendary
One of the best British psych tracks ever!

Ive got the 1980's psycho release retitled Egyption Tomb. I love it so much never thought of hunting down an original. What a great record this is.
I owned this one many years ago in a world far far away.
Holy Shit this song absolutely Smokes how i missed this in all of my years searching out Hard Rock and Psych Rock. The Fuzz guitar is total bliss.

I dont doubt it, there is a shit ton of great Obscure Classic Rock out there.
Rocky B, if you like this, look for The Litter "Blue Ice." I think you'll like it.
@@RonaldLindeboom Also "Lazy Bones" by Witch (specifically for the fuzzzzzz)
A facsimile Hav i sham
I found this song by mistake, it’s pretty good

Yes, mind you East of Eden did have a pretty big hit with 'Jig-a-Jig'

In My Book There Best Song..... Love It
Perfection.
No matter many times I see that album art, I'll never figure out what creature/thing I'm looking at.
Absolutely!
No doubt. Same here..
It is a horned superman astride a maddend rearing tiger, obviously.....
It's a mighty baby, man.
Psychedelic. Bliss &. Also Egyptian. Tomb
Same Way from the Sun and Ancient Traveler
@@thedillestweed2644 yes sir. All great!
Often so sumptuous that it almost hurts.... 👌
Great tracks
Great song, with a riff suspiciously similar to Procol Harum 's 1968 'Wish Me Well' on the 'Shine On Brightly' album - nothing wrong with that though!

It's similar at the start.but then starts soloing all over the place.
It's a little bit better imo. But Guy Stevens who produced Mighty Baby, was the man who coined the phrase a whiter shade of pale..
The beginning sounds like a part in You Never Give Me Your Money by the Beatles.
The chords sound like E7 and A. Pretty common progression for bluesy rock
No matter how much I try, I can't make sense of that art.
It's a ... mighty ... baby ... man.
Phew!

It's a stillborn baby lying on the bathroom floor in a pool of blood.
You need a good stereo for this one. A lot going on here
