Information

CD only subsidiary of Seelie Court , limited 300 copies editions in card Gatefold sleeves, all issued with co operation of the bands/artists, under contract. Mastered by Reynolds Mastering, pressed at The Vinyl Factory, England. Glass Mastered genuine CDs.

An ultra-rare serene folk-inflected progressive rock album. Cherry Red used one song from a poor condition acetate on a recent compilation. 3 acetate copies were made in 1970, with this release using the only surviving near mint LP that’s owned by an ex-member as a source with great audio. The songs "Oakenshade" and "Waxing of the Moon" are poetic genius, using a guitar with a damaged bridge to create a sitar-like drone. The vocals have an air of resigned melancholia, and the lyrics connect with a mystical understanding of and reverence for nature. Issued with the full cooperation of all the band, Lifeblud later explored a heavier sound that sometimes hits the level of High Tide, and there are 2 more Lifeblud LPs scheduled for release. Housed in a gatefold sleeve with band history, reproducing the original typed lyric sheets, and repro of the acetate labels.
