Majic Bus - World Turned Away / Total Silence. 197? USA ~ Philadelphia, Pennsylvania


Very interesting one here. I bought this from a store in Phoenix while visiting family. I had seen it on Discogs, and since we were already there, might as well grab it. I'd heard some of it online once and added it straight to my want list. My notes says it reminded me of early Yes.

Yep, that's exactly it too. Really excellent two sider. Has much more of a UK sound than American. Thinking Guns & Butter here as well. As I put in the release notes in Discogs (while adding prog as a genre): Has organ, flute, sax, acoustic guitar, and Minimoog. Concerning the latter, this makes the date of 1970 highly suspicious (they would have had to be one of the first ever to use this synthesizer). Not enough data to overturn but 1971 to 1972 is far more likely here.

Quite an obscure item, though it isn't fetching high dollars, which isn't atypical for proggy 45s (though there are some major exceptions). Not in 45cat or RYM as I add this here.

Own.
