Samson - Are You Samson (2025) [Hi-Res]

Immediate Records' 60th anniversary marks the reissue of Are You Samson (1969) by Samson, regarded as a rare "holy grail" of prog/psych rock. Samson, launched by Andrew Loog Oldham, the Rolling Stones' first manager, was a cult mystery on the revolutionary Immediate label, known for their unique sound on the 1960s London scene. Their music blended psychedelic harmonies reminiscent of The Zombies and The Pretty Things with progressive textures akin to early Deep Purple, placing them alongside adventurous contemporaries like Caravan. Led by keyboardist and vocalist Ian Kewley, the album features inventive arrangements and choral-style vocal passages, ensuring its legacy as a revered, singular masterpiece and cult classic. The fully restored and remastered reissue of Are You Samson arrives exactly 56 years after its original release.
