Cargo (16) – Front Side, Back Side

This is the first ever reissue. Toronto, Canada based psychedelic quartet began as the Prophets in the mid-60's. Then they renamed The City Suite and finally came the Cargo name. As Cargo they released two LPs and two 7" singles before they split up in 1971. Dreamy psychrock with some mild-jazzy atmospheric improvisations and a couple of spoken mayhem freak-out passages coming between the tracks. Very rare LP, originally released in 1969 on the Merv Buchanan's Trend label, also responsible for the Bent Wind LP. Original basement recording was not a hi-fi one (think of the Bent Wind LP) but also was impossible for Merv to locate the original master-tapes. This reissue has been remastered from 2 unearthed vinyl copies, so forgive us for any sound imperfections although we spend many months in the studio. Nevertheless this is so rare and this reissue would be a keeper for sure. We have boosted the reissue with one extra track from their first (also on Trend) single. Licensed by Buchanan and made with the help of the original Cargo members. Includes: * Fully laminated cover. * One bonus track. * 2-pages (LP-sized) insert with short bio, photos and lyrics. Limited to 300 black and 100 coloured copies. 180gr vinyl as usual. PVC protective outersleeve. BLACK VINYL EDITION
