Repress. Quartermass made one self-titled album in 1970 and that was the end of them. Its a shame that they came and went so fast. They could have been very popular with the proper management and backing, but it was not meant to be. This group was a power prog-rock trio along the lines of the early Atomic Rooster. The trio was John Gustafson (vocals, bass), Mick Underwood (drums), and Pete Robinson (keyboards). John Gustafson voice was similar to Ian Gillans. Their sound was not only interesting and captivating; it was complete and full-bodied with the three people and the three instruments that they played. We can only wonder what could have happened if they met with more success and continued to develop. We are glad that we have this great album to enjoy and to add to our prog-rock classics lists.
Also available: QUATERMASS (2LP/NL) (LP).
