Little Free Rock - Castles In The Sky (1969)
This group was a later version of Purple Haze who included ex-David John and The Mood guitarist Peter Illingworth. Their album is basically heavy psychedelia with some Cream influences. The songs are well structured with fine melodies and good guitar, with the best tracks being "Roman Summer Nights", "Lost Lonely Castles In The Sky", "Dream", "Tingle" and "Evil Woman".
Frank Newbold was later involved in the Astral Navigations Thundermother project.

Great UK underground heavy psych rock album from 1969 recorded by a trio from Lancashire . Well structured songs with fine melodies similar in places to Cream but with the odd swathe of mellotron lending an early progressive touch. Much loved by collectors of UK underground music this album is well worth checking out..
Produced By Eddie Sandham & Recorded At Morgan Studios, London. 1969.
