Ramases - Complete Discography [2014] (6 x CD's)

One of those weird eccentric figures of the late 60's, Kimberly Barrington Frost* from Sheffield claimed to have been visited by the most famous Pharoah and renamed his wife Selket (an Egyptian divinity) and started dressing up strange , recorded two very rare (and unsuccesful) singles before re-surfacing with a full band that released two albums on the famous Vertigo label and a stunning fold-out artwork sleeve from in-house designer Roger Dean. Among the members of the new group he had formed, the nucleus of the future 10CC group (Godley Creme Gouldman & Stewart) played central roles and many superb harmonies and inventive, catchy hooks of this "Space Hymns" album will remind you of the pop-extraordinaire group that later graced the hit charts of the mid and late 70's. An absolutely delightful cult status album every proghead should own, that was a followed e few years later by a much less famous second album "Glass Top Coffin" (but without the 10CC members) which still has moments of brilliance.

Who'd have thought it? After two regular albums that went absolutely nowhere - unless you count the undying support of the 10cc and Vertigo collectors - the legend of Ramases is reborn across a box set that also includes out-takes, odd 45s, and even a disc-long tribute collection. You get 2 CD's of the bands two released albums; 2 CDs of alternative takes/outtakes from those two albums; the 5th CD is early singles (generally rare and very hard to find anywhere) and the last CD is from bands who are fans doing cover versions.

I remember being absolutely blown away when I first heard Space Hymns way. Almost 50 years on, and it Still remains one of my favorite albums. Then this... The complete discography. Absolutely amazing! Pretty sure there's been a bit of remastering on Space Hymns, as I have the CD version as well as the vinyl, and this sounds even better. The sound quality throughout is nothing short of superb so congratulations to the team who put this package together. This whole set is a fabulous collection. But nothing could have prepared me for "Tribute" Absolutely out of this world. Amazing, incredible and any other word you can think of. If you even half like Ramases earlier productions, the you really must have this collection.  (Amazon)
