Sommor Records present the first vinyl reissue of Curtis Knight Zeus's Sea of Time album, originally released in 1973. In the early '70s, Hendrix's old friend and collaborator Curtis Knight moved to London and formed Curtis Knight Zeus, recruiting a young guitarist named "Fast" Eddie Clarke (later of Motörhead fame). Sea of Time was recorded at Olympic Studios in 1973 but never actually released in the UK, only in a few European countries. Psychedelic hard-rock with soul/funk influences and even some raw proto-punk moves. All songs were written by Curtis, showcasing his versatile songwriting talent, and he's also on lead vocals/guitar. Includes the underground heavy-funk-rock hit "The Devil Made Me Do It", and more. Recommended if you like Jimi Hendrix, Arthur Lee's Vindicator (1972), Chubby Checker's Chequered! (1971). Original gatefold sleeve artwork; includes insert with liner notes by Kingsley Abbott with a foreword by Kathy Knight-McConnell (Curtis's widow) and photos. "It's hard to imagine any rock fan not finding something to enjoy on this Sea of Time album with the quality of the playing and the instantly memorable songs." --Kingsley Abbott
