The Polite Force (Reissue, Remastered)

~ Release by Egg (see all versions of this release, 4 available)

Annotation

2008 digitally remastered edition of the sophomore album from this Prog/Art-Rock trio, originally released in 1971. Egg featured the talents of Dave Stewart on Keyboards, Mont Campbell on bass and Clive Brooks on drums. The trio produced music of startling originality and energy, drawing on influences ranging from Rock to Jazz to Psychedelia to Classical. This fusion resulted in some of the most enduring releases to appear on Decca's Deram and Nova imprints and are now critically regarded as some of the more unique albums of the early 1970's. Esoteric.
