which is probably better informed than mine... I've never really given Fruupp repeat listens or heard them in some while, and I've yet to be initiated into the world of Fuchsia.... some day!

Maybe I'm being a bit harsh and I should give them another go, but I always found Fruupp to be a bit 'second division'.. I've not heard anything by them which for me would stand next to the first 4 I picked certainly; maybe I'd put their best stuff on a par with Cressida?

CRESSIDA - Cressida (1970) (I think Asylum is their strongest effort)

I’ve heard 5 of these and I think Richard Wrights wet dreams is the most interesting of the 5. Space shanty would be a close second.

Browsing the list I would have voted for Jon, but the very last was Rick who gets my vote. 
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

^Tony Banks, too! For some reason that one jumped out at me first. Khan and England would be my second and third choices. My forehead is covered with airmail stamps again.

Simply down to human error. I don't recall, but I often miss the obvious and make mistakes when compiling things. Maybe the fact that it's the album that has meant the most to me and I get the strongest emotional reaction from of these played its part in the oversight.

QUATERMASS - Quatermass (1970)

Hi,

I got this album in 1971 in some used bin somewhere, likely Santa Barbara ... and of your whole list, I don't thing I worn down any LP as much as I did this one ... and get this ... I bought it because of the cover, only to find a really far out album, that had some special stuff in it ... the symphonic/electronic passages in the album were far out and well done ... but everyone could only talk about the one song ... that some DP guy (can't remember well, but I think he was DP) did it later ... AND NOT BETTER! 

Some names/folks from that band went on to a lot of nice things, which tells yo they were not exactly hackers, or garage band folks.
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
