Trading Places present a reissue of Kingdom Come's Journey, originally released in 1973. Theatrical rocker Arthur Brown gained notoriety and fame in equal measure through "Fire", an anthem to their pyrotechnic excess. When his backing musicians quit to form Atomic Rooster, Brown formed Kingdom Come to further explore the nexus of music and theater and of the series of albums they cut for Polydor, Journey is the strangest and greatest. Stretching to the deepest reaches of space rock, Journey used the Bentley Rhythm Ace drum machine, and Victor Peraino's synths, Theremin and mellotron, to chart the astral records of history. This is Brown's true masterpiece, an astounding record that was eons ahead of its time. 180 gram vinyl. Licensed by Cherry Red.

Trading Places present a reissue of Kingdom Come's self-titled album, originally released in 1972. "God of Hellfire" Arthur Brown made an indelible impact in The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown, performing outlandish theatrics with a burning helmet and being deported from Italy after a naked appearance at the Palermo Pop Festival in 1970. When his bandmates quit to form Atomic Rooster, Brown formed Kingdom Come to cut three esoteric albums for Polydor, this self-titled sophomore set inspired by the element of water. It's a deep dive into prog concept territory, with churning organ, pounding bass and drums, wah-wah excursions and Brown's internal conversations drifting between the speakers.
