LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

In the crowded underbrush of the late sixties British psych/blues scene Jasper was definitely at the head of its class. The quintet's personalized blues style, with Steve Radford's excellent lead-guitar lighting the way (punctuated also by their keen use of flute and harpsichord) is well expressed in their inspired versions of "Baby Please Don't Go" and "Ain't No Peace". Unfortunately soon after the release of their rare l969 debut album Liberation , the group disbanded and disappeared from the scene.
