I would suggest pairingTouch's 'Alesha & Others' which leads into '75' as a so-called epic. Recorded 1968 and released 1969.

it all depends on what you'd define as an epic. personally i'd label lumpy gravy by frank (formerly known as francis because thats what he believed his first name was) zappa was one of the first AVANT-prog epics

THE WEB is best known for the third album "I Spider" but they had some great prog moments as far back as the debut release in 1968.

I appreciate what you're saying about Harper's early material and the 'nebulous' definition of what constitutes an epic and yes, absolutely, probably not 'Prog' by the generally accepted 'ideas' of what that may constitute it on this site, but in 1967 the idea of extending the length and breadth of a 'popular' music (in its most generalist term of the time) song in those days came from many differing quarters- Folk, Jazz, Psych, stoner-blues-rock (whatever the heck you want to call it) and within the next couple of years they would collide and cross pollinate to create what would become 'progressive rock'. Harper was doing something very different (certainly in the UK) and although i probably should have expanded my reasoning, i feel that the whole of the second side of the 'come out fighting genghis smith' lp is really one piece in the way it was conceived and the way the ideas flow. But that is just my own personal view. Glad you like the idea of 'A very cellular song', it really was something very unique at the time

Back to the OP:
Also: Are those 1967 Roy Harper "epics", ("Circle" and "Come Out Fighting Ghengis Smith"---10 and 9 minutes long, respectively) really "prog" epics? Or "epics" at all! (Back to the nebulous definition of whatever it is that constitutes an "epic"). I like the suggestion of the Incredible String Band's "A Very Cellular Song" very much.
