CARGO 's/t' Double LP (Netherlands, Pseudonym Records, Catalogue #VP99.030) Brand new/unplayed copy of Pseudonym Records label Double LP version of TOP DUTCH DUAL GUITAR MELODIC PSYCH PROG ROCK MONSTER album from 1972 by Netherlands band Cargo (aka September.) Second LP includes previously unreleased demos.

"Released in anonymity to an unsuspecting Dutch public in 1972, Cargo's lone album became a self-fulfilling prophecy when it disappeared after minimal radio play and no live dates to back it up. But Cargo had already had hits under their original name, September, and their talent would not remain buried forever. In subsequent years, the album became the stuff of record collector dreams -- as prog fans ate up its uncanny improvisational transformation of Allman Brothers influences (check out the incredible dual-guitar work of the de Hont brothers, Jan and Ad) out of the American South and into a psychedelicized continuum of space and time both terrestrial and celestial. This deluxe 2LP reissue gives you not only the original four-song LP and artwork, but four previously unreleased bonus tracks, incredible remastered sound, and extensive liner notes telling the full Cargo story by Doug Sheppard of Ugly Things magazine. Forty years after its release, Pseudonym Records has given this renowned progressive rock artifact a reissue that upholds its legacy. All tracks are recorded under the band name September. After the recordings the idea came up to release it under the project name Cargo. Remastered in the 24-bit domain from the original master tapes. All demos are previously unreleased. 2lp on black 180 gram vinyl, 350 gram carton gatefold sleeve."

"They started out under the name September and released three singles on Imperial in 1970 and 1971, then changed their name to Cargo in 1972. Their album is a true classic of melodic heavy progressive rock with some of the best twin electric guitar interplay I've ever heard. They beat Wishbone Ash by miles! Tracks such as "Sail Inside" (10:54) may seem like clichéd motorcycle rock on the first listening, only to reveal myriads of nuances behind the raw edges later on. This powerful guitar-driven music also has a more vulnerable side, alternating between aggression and a hidden sorrow. "Summerfair" (15:35) is another winner full of emotion and dynamics. Strongly recommended to all fans of intelligent guitar-rock! The cover motif was a reference to the first album by The Outsiders." - Dag Erik Asbjornsen/Scented Gardens Of The Mind
