Star's End > Bedford, David

Artist: David Bedford
Label: Virgin
Catalog#: VR 13 - 114
Format: Vinyl
Country: United States
Released: 1974-11
Strawberry Bricks Entry: 
David Bedford's classical credentials included study at London's Royal Academy of Music and tutelage under Italian avant-garde composer Luigi Nono. He crossed over into the rock world as the keyboard player for Kevin Ayers and the Whole World in 1969. In 1970, that band performed Bedford's The Garden of Love, written—in true avant-garde form—for "pop group." This association led to further collaboration with guitarist Mike Oldfield and others on the Virgin roster.

Starless And Bible Black > King Crimson

Artist: King Crimson
Label: Atlantic
Catalog#: SD 7298
Format: Vinyl
Country: United States
Released: 1974-02
Strawberry Bricks Entry: 
Appearing a little over a year after their last album, Starless And Bible Black was the second album from the new and improved King Crimson. Most of the record was based on live recordings from the previous fall in Amsterdam. It's no wonder, as Crimson spent the better part of March through November 1973 on the road, with only a few weeks in the summer to rest. The first side contains shorter instrumental pieces, as well as a few songs proper.

Sun Supreme > Ibis

Artist: Ibis
Label: Polydor
Catalog#: 2446 022.
Format: Vinyl
Country: Italy
Released: 1974-04
Strawberry Bricks Entry: 
Following the New Trolls break up, guitarist Nico Di Palo—plus former members Maurizio Salvi, Frank Laugelli and Gianni Belleno—released Canti D'Innocenza, Canti D'Esperienca, with a big question mark and their names on the cover; for legal reasons, they couldn't release it as the New Trolls. It's very much a hard rock album, based on Di Palo's hard-riffing guitar. A reader's poll gave the group their new name, Ibis; and British drummer Ric Parnell, fresh from a defunct Atomic Rooster, replaced Bellano for their second album, Sun Supreme.
