A Fleeting Glance "Rosetta" 1970 UK Private

A Fleeting Glance "A Fleeting Glance" 1970 UK Private.

Record Collector recently listed the record at £2700 stating "Only two copies of this 1970 UK private pressing are known to exist. The album harnesses heavy rock, kosmische, folk and jazz to regale the tempestuous tale of a shadowy woman from birth to death. There's even a rumoured cameo performance from Billy Fury."..

One of the most astonishing British private pressing rarities, only two copies have surfaced of this 1970 concept album. Telling the story of a woman's life from her own conception to giving birth, the LP was put together by a variety of musicians at a social club, and allegedly includes an uncredited appearance by Billy Fury. Linked by narration and sound effects, the music runs the gamut from heavy space-rock jamming (including a snatch of 'Interstellar Overdrive') to folk rock (an acoustic cover of 'Light My Fire' & a stunning version of 'Watch The Stars') avante-garde choirs, krautrock-styled interludes and even trad jazz. The result is among the trippiest albums I have ever heard, comparable only to Jumble Lane in terms of eccentricity, although the music is infinitely better, with a strong Pink Floyd spacy edge. Indeed, had Syd Barrett remained with the Floyd, one could well imagine 'Dark Side of The Moon' might have sounded thus."..
