Blonde On Blonde - Contrast. LP. (Abaraxas - 42044) Progressive popsters from Newport, South Wales, Blonde On Blonde were a part of the 1968 musical explosion (launched by the Isle of Wight Festival) that created an arena for so many bands in the late 60s British underground scene (Crazy World Of Arthur Brown, The Move, and Tyrannosaurus Rex, to name a few). Using a fusion of folk vocals, a post mod rhythm section and fuzz guitars, Blonde on Blonde created aura of freshness and inventive that gave new meaning to the term 'progressive'. Their 1969 Contrasts marks a beautiful debut and is still a nice piece of music that is definitely worth the reissue. Also featuring one of the most amazing cover versions of the Beatles’ "Eleanor Rigby".180 gram virgin vinyl with PVC dustsleeve

Blonde On Blonde - Contrasts... Plus. CD. (Castle - CMRCD257) The debut album by this UK band was issued in 1969 and is an undiscovered gem of late '60's progressive pop/psych.

Of particular note is the rock version of The Incredible String Band's "No Sleep Blues" and a version of Eleanor Rigby. Includes detailed sleeve notes and two bonus tracks.

Blonde On Blonde - Rebirth. CD. (Spalax - CD 14525) Highly collectable and best second album from this excellent late '60s Welsh progressive/psychedelic rock band.

The song material is not only wonderfully melodic but is mysterious and otherworldy...crossing the divide between '60's psych and prog.Housed in a digi pack re-creating the original artwork.

Blonde On Blonde - Reflections On A Life. CD. (Spalax - 14526) Third album from 1971 by this highly regarded but woefully ignored fine UK progressive band. Elements of Moody Blues or Barclay James Harvest could be gleaned from this album, but it's their own distinctive sound that shines through with those unique wavering vocals. A lost classic and housed in a digi pack
