SWEET SLAG
"Tracking With Close-Ups" LP
Formed in 1969, this 4-piece UK outfit went on to record one ultra
collectable album in 1971 for President Records. Originally the
album was going to be titled "guerilla jazz rock" but came instead to be
renamed "Tracking With Close-Ups," which is a good thing, as this is
not a jazz rock album! The band toured extensively, supporting the likes
of Deep Purple, Stray, Nucleus, Graham Bond, Black Cat Bones and Third
Ear Band. Over the years the Sweet Slag album has built a cult
reputation with collectors. The album is certainly different from many
released at that time—it has a unique heavy dark psychedelic aspect
running through the album; it almost borders on proto-metal on several
tracks, as well as having some darker progressive elements and Beefheart
and Zappa moments, making it a thoroughly unique and classic album.
The real deal early 1970's UK underground!
