One
of the most astonishing British private pressing rarities, only two
copies have surfaced of this 1970 concept album. Telling the story of a
woman's life from her own conception to giving birth, the LP was put
together by a variety of musicians at a social club, and allegedly
includes an uncredited appearance by Billy Fury. Linked by narration and
sound effects, the music runs the gamut from heavy space-rock jamming
(including a snatch of 'Interstellar Overdrive') to folk rock (an
acoustic cover of 'Light My Fire' & a stunning version of 'Watch The
Stars') avante-garde choirs, krautrock-styled interludes and even trad
jazz. The result is among the trippiest albums I have ever heard,
comparable only to Jumble Lane in terms of eccentricity, although the
music is infinitely better, with a strong Pink Floyd spacy edge. Indeed,
had Syd Barrett remained with the Floyd, one could well imagine 'Dark
Side of The Moon' might have sounded thus."
