{"product_id":"mighty-baby_mighty-baby_2023_soc","title":"MIGHTY BABY","description":"Mighty Baby grew out of the Action, the club favourites who had released a number of poor-selling singles. Dropped by Parlophone, the musical chairs saw Ian Whiteman (keyboards\/flute) and Martin Stone (guitar) join and the music now blended progressive psychedelia with longer tracks dominated by instrumental prowess rather than the soulful voice of Reggie King. King left and guitarist Alan King and Whiteman began sharing vocal duties on newly written tracks such as “Egyptian Tomb” and “House Without Windows” which, in retrospect, can be seen as reflecting the dark star light of the Grateful Dead. “Mighty Baby” was first released on the Head label on November 7, 1969 in a superb sleeve with artist Martin Sharp providing the striking cover art which looked like a bloodied lion. The album received positive reviews, with International Times declaring “The music has a hundred characters… Oriental, eastern, country, folk, rock, blues, pop etc. etc… Right now, Mighty Baby’s record is quite simply THE best thing in its class.” The album is now considered a progressive rock classic; consistent, with no weak spots, the inventiveness and musical prowess on a par with the equally revered, albeit more jazzy, progressive rock band Cressida. This latest Ace edition not only reproduces the gatefold sleeve of the original, but also contains an inner sleeve filled with memorabilia from the collection of Richard Morton Jack. “Mighty Baby” is an essential purchase not only for fans of the band, but also for those who want to discover this classic progressive rock album for the first time.","brand":"Mighty Baby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55312594927960,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0029667004015.jpg?v=1760402695","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/mighty-baby_mighty-baby_2023_soc","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
