Colonel Elliott and the Lunatics – Interstellar Reggae Drive LP

Description

Reissue, originally released in 1973. What ifLee PerryandLex Baxterhave been caught in a firetrap altogether? A weird experiment in dub and reggae coined in 1973, the sole album of this interstellar venture was a case in point. Jamaican rhythms (provided by the almighty Trojan Records crew) with legendary prog/psych keyboardistKen Elliot(former member of influential British bands such asSecond HandandSeventh Wave) creating groovy instrumental on top. Ten tracks including theJoe Meekclassic “Telstar” and a spacey rendition ofThe Skatalities‘ “Guns Of Navarone” (aptly named “Guns Of The Martian Giants”) for an album that might sounds like a Caribbean easy listening session on dope. A true gem on its own, incredible strange music for the suburbs. Fully remastered and licensed.
