Image Maker 1 & 2

CD reissue of this anonymous English Prog-Psych rarity from 1971, with only one known copy left in existence - a perfect acetate. The Image Maker Vol. 1 & 2 is a real underground concept album with a Progressive touch that only needs a few spins to get it right. Well-crafted songs, great vocals, sound-effects, organ and heavy fuzz guitar all combine to make up one of the better albums on the Vertigo label with a good dose of acid in it. The recording, arrangements and concepts are on a very high professional level. Even a search at UK copyright control did not show any results revealing the identity of who, exactly, Shutter was. Since the original acetates appeared many years ago, this is still a very provocative unsolved mystery of the UK underground. The word Shutter is a religious reference, if you have a Bible handy. The title of the album the Image Maker also suits the religious meaning. Shadows. 2007.
