Principal Edwards Magic Theatre were a collective of musicians, dancers, poets and lighting
technicians who were active between 1968 and 1971. This is their second and last LP, released
in January 1971 on John Peel's Dandelion label.
Asmoto Running Band, produced by Nick Mason, Pink Floyd's drummer, is a sort of theme album,
telling a spaced out tale of the Asmoto Running Band versus McAlpine (then the UK's largest
construction company). It's very far out and obscure,like a progressive folk Sgt. Pepper.
The band would break up shortly after this release. The times they were a’changing (unfortunately),
and this sort of theatrical, hippie-folk music was becoming pretty out of fashion by the early
seventies. It's still a fun-loving and joyeous album that takes the listener back to those wild
and hazy hippie days so long gone! Peppermint Store blog.
This album is sides 3 and 4, their first album 'Soundtrack' (1969) being sides 1 and 2!
