Incredible String Band
Changing Horses
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1969 Rare White Label Promo With Custom Inner Sleeve Housed In A Gatefold Jacket. Strong VG++ Jacket. "Although Generally Regarded As One Of The Incredible String Band's Sub-Standard Efforts, Changing Horses Has An Appealing Looseness And Sense Of Fun Which Nicely Balances The Often Over-Serious Nature Of The Band's Always Strange Mix Of English Folk And Psycheldelia. With Two Tracks Topping The 15-Minute Mark In Length, Some Of The Record Comes Off Like A Rambling, Drunken Living Room Jam Session. This Version Of The Incredible String Band Includes Two Women, Rose And Liquorice, Who Add Some Nice, High Vocal Harmonies To The Standard Mike Heron/Robin Williamson Sound. Rose Also Contributes Some Nice Tuba-Influenced Electric Bass Work Throughout The Album. Changing Horses Has A Distinct Lack Of Memorable Songs (With The Possible Exception Of Williamson's "Mr. And Mrs.," Which, Because Of Its Raw Production, Organ And Guitar Work, Bears A Striking Resemblance At Times To The Velvet Underground) But, Due To The Group's Willingness To Take Chances, Bears Repeated Listenings." AMG - Pemberton Roach.
