GUESS 197LP
|
This is the "lost" second album by hard-prog band T2, featuring demos recorded at Decca Studios by the original line-up in 1970, just after the release of their debut masterpiece It'll All Work Out In Boomland (1970). Known also as T2 and Fantasy, 1970 shows T2 at their rawest, featuring the explosive guitar of Keith Cross, the powerful drumming and cool vocals of Peter Dunton, and the fantastic bass playing of Bernie Jinks. Hard cardboard sleeve; includes insert with liner notes and photos.

GUESS 198LP

Sold out, repress available early 2025... Amazing unissued recordings by cult psych/prog band T2, featuring their later line-up, still with the great Peter Dunton on drums/vocals but now with Andrew Bown replacing Keith Cross on guitar and bass player John Weir on most of the tracks. There's also guest appearances by Dunton's friend Andrew Keeling on flute and slide guitar player Will Killeen. Similar to their classic It'll All Work Out In Boomland and 1970 albums, this is highly recommended to any fan of underground hard-rock and proto-metal. Hard cardboard sleeve; includes insert with liner notes and photos.

"Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce the release of a re-mastered and expanded 3CD digipack edition of the cult 1970 album by progressive rock power trio T2. The album earned much praise upon its release and the band's live performances hailed the teenager Keith Cross as "the new Eric Clapton", much against his wishes. Despite this, issues with their record company, combined with a general dissatisfaction led to Cross departing the band after the trio had recorded a series of excellent tracks for a potential second album that failed to materialize after the band were dropped by Decca. By 1971 Bernard Jinks had also departed and Peter Dunton formed a new line-up of the band featuring guitarist Andrew Bown and bassist John Weir. This new line-up performed on the UK concert circuit and also recorded a series of fine tracks in the search of a new recording contract. Alas, by the end of 1972 T2 disbanded. By the new millennium It'll All Work Out in Boomland had been re-appraised and had attracted a cult following among aficionados of progressive and underground rock of the early 1970s, even leading to several tracks being sampled by DJs on Dance tracks. This Esoteric Recordings edition has been newly re-mastered from the original Decca master tapes and has been expanded by a further two CDs featuring their later recordings made in 1970 and 1971-1972. T2's sole Decca album is presented here as a recognised classic of the era. Open your ears to Boomland!"
