At the time I was living in Israel and I could not get a copy of the LP. It was not domestically available and my sources could not locate another one. There is a whole story about how I eventually did get one in 1975 and it traveled with me to the US where it still has a place of honor among the 1,500 LP&#8217;s that were left from my once much larger collection. It did eventually come out on CD and one can easily find it on the web <!--more-->nowadays.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Up to this day I consider this album to be\u00a0the top contender for\u00a0the best album ever recorder! The last track &#8216;The Prisoner&#8217; caps it all triumphantly &#8211; don&#8217;t get me wrong everything on this album is amazing!. However the last 30 seconds use stereo as a musical instrument. There are very few audio engineers who have attempted anything like this but I&#8217;d say top honors go to Jeff Calver. As far as I can tell, the first attempt at this kind of effect was on the song <em><a href=\"https:\/\/oortcloudreviews.wordpress.com\/2015\/08\/04\/elp-1st\/\">Lucky Man<\/a><\/em> by ELP. The engineer on that one was Eddy Offord. So, get out your best pair of headphones and crank it up real high. I highly\u00a0recommend that you <strong>DO NOT<\/strong> listen to this passage under the influence of any kind of psychedelics &#8211; chances are good you might end up in the loony bin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First Utterance by Comus came out in 1971 and it hit me like a ton of bricks.
