After the Race - Marvelous Kid (CD)

Seelie Court - the world's premier label for rare and previously unreleased archive recordings of underground folk, rock, proto-metal, and psychedelic music presents After the Races. Marvelous Kid. Gigged across Great Britain in the early 70s and played the first ever Glastonbury Festival, performing stunning Canterbury-esque extended Art Rock tracks. Their name originates from an American edition of Kipling's Just So Stories, and is spelt with one 'L' causing mass confusion and misspellings from day one, even amongst the band themselves. These studio tracks were for a planned 1973 LP that never was - and it's some of the finest complex Prog Rock of the era. At times there's a hint of the great Robert Calvert in the vocal. File with Caravan, Soft Machine and Yes.
