Death Warmed Up by High Tide (1969)



SEE LINK BELOW

High Tide was an interesting band. I would say they were sort of proto-prog if I had to put a label on it. Whatever the classification, you can immediately hear that these guys are good musicians. The most unique aspect of this band is the electric violin played by Simon House. Simon would go on to join Hawkwind a few years after High Tide's premature demise in 1970.

While the band was only around for a couple of years, they put out two really interesting albums, Sea Shanties and High Tide.

This track shows off their instrumentality. The link below is to the Japanese youtube site where the full version can be heard.
