Toronto, Canada based psychedelic quartet began as the Prophets in the mid-60's. Then they renamed themselves The City Suite and finally settled on Cargo. As Cargo they released two LPs and two 7" singles before they split up in 1971; dreamy psychrock with some mild-jazzy atmospheric improvisations and a couple of spoken mayhem freak-out passages coming between the tracks. This now very rare debut album was originally released in 1969 on Merv Buchanan's Trend label, also responsible for the Bent Wind LP. The original basement recording was not what one would consider to be state of the art to begin with (think of the Bent Wind LP) and also proved to be impossible for Merv to locate the original master-tapes. As a result, this reissue has been remastered from two unearthed mint vinyl copies, a warts and all kinda thing, though much time was spent in the studio in making the best possible transfer for this edition. That aside, with the rarity of the original this lovingly assembled reissue edition will make a fine addition to any collection. This edition includes one extra track taken from their first single (also on Trend). Licensed by Buchanan and made with the help of the original Cargo members. Includes a reproduction of the original cover art with a fully laminated cover and a two-page LP-sized insert with short bio, photos, and lyrics.
