Marsupilami

Repress. Digitally re-mastered reissue of Marsupilami's self titled debut album, originally released in 1970. Initially a Folk-based group, the band evolved into one of the most adventurous, if unsung, Progressive bands of the early '70s, producing two stunningly original albums. Featuring a line-up of brothers Fred and Leary Hasson (lead vocals and harmonica and keyboards respectively), Dave Laverock (guitar), Richard Lathan Hicks (bass), Jessica Stanley Clarke (flute, vocals) and Mike Fouracre (drums), Marsupilami drew early comparisons to such contemporaries as Quintessence and Gryphon, although in truth the group were far more experimental and powerful. Esoteric.
