Review
Eclectic Discs are pleased to announce the release of this classic album by the legendary Progressive / proto-Doom Metal outfit High Tide. In 1969, guitarist Tony Hill (ex-member of The Misunderstood, one of John Peel's favourite bands of the 1960's) united with violinist and keyboard player Simon House, bassist Peter Pavli and drummer Roger Hadden to form High Tide. In an age of flourishing creativity the band produced two albums of wonderfully powerful doom laden rock music. A deal with The Beatles' Apple publishing led to them a contract with Liberty / United Artists and the recording of their highly underrated 1969 debut album Sea Shanties, a stunning work that in hindsight is now regarded as being light years ahead of its time. Doyens of the Ladbroke Grove hippy scene, High Tide were part of the Clearwater Management stable that also included cohorts Hawkwind, Skin Alley and Cochise. 1970 saw the release of their second and final album High Tide, a more structured, although equally powerful affair. An intense gigging schedule saw the band run out of steam and by 1971 the group had ceased to exist. Simon House joined experimentalists the Third Ear Band (contributing to the soundtrack to Roman Polanski's Macbeth) before joining Hawkwind in 1973. He later became a member of David Bowie's band. Peter Pavli was to collaborate with science fantasy author Michael Moorcock in his band Deep Fix and also worked with Hawkwind's Robert Calvert.
The Eclectic Discs reissue includes three bonus tracks recorded at Apple studios in March of `69 and the lengthy The Great Universal Protection Racket and Time Gauges, recorded during sessions for Sea Shanties. Both expanded remastered CDs have playing times in excess of 70 minutes and include expansive booklets, including notes by Tony Hill, and slip cases.
