Sublime, brilliant, beautiful progressive art rockers with a Canterbury vibe and masterful extended tracks, elements of Caravan, Soft Machine and Fuschia, recorded in a London & Dublin studio in 1973 for a planned LP that never happened. 15 minute tracks that allow the band and compositions to develop and expand in the best way, sheer unadulterated progressive genius. Marvelous Kid are named after a line from Kipling, and use the one L spelling. They gigged constantly with bands like The Groundhogs, Stackridge, Stonehouse, Gentle Giant, and included members from the legendary Grannie and also Patto. Anyone into Genesis, Soft Machine, Caravan, Camel, Fuschia, 25 Views of Worthing et al should check this out. It’s utterly brilliant extended prog. Seelie Court will issue more of their recordings soon. Joy to listen to this 100% authentic prog rock, from original Reels.
