Definitely a one-of-a-kind artist. The singing and presentation are so gentle, seems like some whispy Incredible String Band guy would be behind this, instead of a gentle giant. I can take or leave 10cc, but they are terrific on this recording. Maybe his music will do a Nick Drake resurrection one of these days, Ramesses deserves to be heard.

Glass Top Coffin has its fans, but this is the best Rameses LP to me. It is very spacey and it really does take you on a trip with a very weird guy. He dressed up like Ramesses all day every day, even when he used to go to a Fish and Chip shop near where he lived. He was ex Army Fitness instructor and was a big powerful bloke, who somehow had a change of life experiance in the 60s! ( didnt a lot of people?) and he just had to make these Lps. He was apparently convinced of aliens living amongst us. The sleeve is Stockport Church in Mancester turning into a spaceship ! When everyone was going to San Francisco, or London at least, he moved to sleepy South Coast of England seaside town, Felixstowe ! The Lp has to be listened to as a whole and has to be listened to knowing that the brain behind it meant every word. Which can be slightly unselttling. If you are not a 10cc fan, dont let their involvement put you off ! They are obviously fine musicians and do a great job here, but the Pharoeh was in charge of this spaceship ! Great LP !
