ALPHA CENTAURI - Alpha Centauri (Collector's Edition) (Sealed) (CD)

Reissue of Alpha Centauri's self-titled album from 1977 on CD. Often compared to the music of such heavy hitters as Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Styx, Angel and Head East, this band's style was a formidable blast of pompous energy, but not, it must be said, a carbon copy or pastiche. This work is a masterclass in heavy pomp rock, showcasing a band that could not only write catchy melodies, but also imbibe them with the sort of stunning arrangements normally associated with far more successful groups. This collector's edition CD-reissue comes with remastered sound and a 16-page full-colour booklet.
