VA - The Vertigo Trip [1971]

"The Vertigo Trip" is a compelling compilation album released by Vertigo Records, capturing the essence of early 70s British underground and progressive rock. The album features an eclectic mix of genres, including blues rock, hard rock, prog rock, and psychedelic rock, showcasing a diverse range of artists and their innovative sounds.

Notable tracks such as "St. Louis" by Warhorse and "After Forever" by Black Sabbath highlight the hard-hitting rock element, while songs like "Funny Ways" by Gentle Giant and "This Is What Happens" by Keith Tippett Group demonstrate the album's progressive and experimental nature. The inclusion of diverse acts such as Magna Carta, Gravy Train, and Catapilla further enriches the listening experience, offering a variety of musical styles and influences.
