Kingdom - Kingdom (CD)

Original release 1970
Sealed !

The eponymous album of this long-forgotten US band was originally released in 1970 on the Specialty label (home of Little Richard and Sam Cooke). The music on this excellent, but rather unknown LP is best described as very energetic early heavy rock music (with some British progressive rock influences) full of powerful riffings, spontaneous guitar solos, inventive Hammond organ passages, fine melodies and numerous rhythm changes. The most notable influences were Led Zeppelin, Cream, Steppenwolf, Mountain and Buffalo Springfield. This is necessary listening for all early heavy rock fans. This CD was carefully remastered from the original, analogue source and sounds really great.
