This album wa recorded in 1969 by former `Crazy World of Arthur Brown` bassist `Nicholas Greenwood` but not released until 1972 on Kingdom records (KVL 9002) – a label best known for reggae/soul releases - it simply slipped under the radar. Titled `Cold Cuts` it came with a bizarre front cover showing `cuts of meat stacked like a person on a chair but musically it is very strong, which is why a top UK copy sold for £4750 in 2014 and even lower condition copies will sell for £1000+ (there was also a 1973 Benelux release on Pink Elephant that sometimes sells for hundreds of pounds but it is the UK release on Kingdom that really fetches the money)
