Last Straw - Alone On A Stone (Reissue) (1973-76/1994)

Last Straw hail from the Isle of Wight and began recording circa 1972. They released a single in 1978 and toured extensively. The early studio tracks on this CD show a brilliant progressive rock talent somewhere inbetween "Yes" and "Hawkwind". The period feel of "Terence", its nifty lyricisim and awesome climactic jam elevate it into classicdom. Later tracks veer into a guitar based wishbone ash territory.
