The original 1971 pressing of this British progressive band's only record is considered by many record collectors to be the rarest British prog album ever! Released in 200 copies (some without covers) by the tiny Norwegian Experience label, it's almost impossible to find! In early 1971 Universe went to Norway for a short tour, but they were quickly cheated by the promoter, and their van broke down "in the middle of nowhere", but almost at the front door of the local Experience record lavel's owner, where they were given shelter. This album was professionally recorded at the same place as a kind of 'thank you' to their saviour. The music here is great guitar driven hardish rock with some blues and progressive elements - similar to early Wishbone Ash, Thin Lizzy, Man and Hackensack.This premiere CD has been expanded with a vinyl single track (from the same session) and 2 tracks from 1970 acetate.
