"I never argue with anyone about the death penalty, politics, their football team or God. They are the things nobody changes their minds on, so it's a waste of time."

Simon Napier-Bell


The music that matters from Britain during the sixties; a lost time when the British sports car ruled, BOAC traversed the Empire, and manners were largely adhered to.

Looking Glass - The GODS - 1968 acetate



This is a 45 rpm acetate single of the ultimate track 'Looking Glass' from the Gods' first long playing record of 1968, GENESIS.

This aceate is different from the original in that it omits the final halogen gas influenced voices at the tail end, hence its 4 minutes 7 seconds running time.


A splendid find I am sure you will agree.

Some of you will notice the similarity with the early seventies progressive outfit Uriah Heep (Ken Hensley's vocals), links also with Rare Bird and Toe Fat.

The LP mix varied depending whether mono or stereo -forget which way around -but ony one had the (fairly annoying to me) overdubbed links.. Sort of Red Krayola ish. This is probably as per the link free edition -a great find anyway

Good evening Golgotha.

Your assistance is much appreciated, and I include your contributions to 'The End' entry.
