The Long Hello was an instrumental progressive album recorded in August 1973 by David Jackson, High Banton, Guy Evans and friends (including another ex-Van Der Graaf Generator-bassist Nic Potter and guitarist Ced Curtis - both at the time of the session were members of Rare Bird) soon after VDGG was disbanded. The music on that album was truly beautiful, well-arranged, quite relaxing and very meldic (with plenty of flute, sax and classical guitar) but also dark, twisted and most of the time very similar to the early VDGG style. This unjustly underrated record was originally signed by the band members, titled “The Long Hello” and and released in 1974 on Italian Unied Artists label, a year later it was reissued in the UK (with different cover and with reversed sides) by the band The Long Hello themselves as a limited edition of 5000 copies. This cd has been carefully remastered from original, analogue source.
