I'm not sure how the pictures were applied to the vinyl, but after repeated playing they started to wear off!Confused

 

EL I stand corrected - but my excuse: I don't think I've seen the albums together since 1972. There was certainly something different between the two, and at the time the Saturnalia was the more adventurous but didn't work too well  - was the CA one pressed up in black vinyl?

There does exist a black vinyl edition of the first CA LP - I have it - on Green Warner Bros. label K56004. I think this is a pressing contemporary with the pic disc (i.e 70')- the green WB label would suggest it is. I think they moved from Orange in 69' or 70' onto green for a couple of years. They moved to the "tree-lined avenue" label in 73 I think, just in time for The Exorcist soundtrack!!!!

Saturnalia's "Magical Love" was only a pic disc (apart from test pressing on black vinyl - booked at 70) - the original came with a booklet - and is booked at 100 with the book - and the repress on pic disc is from 73 and is the one I have - its quite common this pressing and you see it around for £10-20 - at least up-north you do - I don't know about inflated London prices!) - however the cat no is the same - so there is no way of knwing whether you have a 71 original without the book or a 73' pressing.  Or does anyone know if there were slight design differences. - its a surprisingly good early proggy LP Magical Love - a true cult obscurity.

Curved Air are a truly Great Band though - Second LP is amazing. Does anyone have the Sonja Kristina solo Lp - something about Acid Folk - "here Come the Acid Folk" or something like that - I believe its meant to be a forgotten folk-prog classic (or Acid-Folk)

Hi I've been able to complete a comprehensive research of CA and Sonja and I can now answer the above question...

The name of Sonja's solo album is called "Songs of the Acid Folk" check out here website

Hi Chris I've got some good news about your question

You can now by Air Cut on CD, comes with a poster of the band playing in 1973.

The CD is available from a Japanese company I think www.m2urec.com (mu2u-2005)

The art work on the CD cover is amazing, very trippy and of its time, but it also looks fresh and modern

Every day I'm learning more and more, thanks to all members that have replied
