RARE JAPANESE PROMO – A SERIOUS UNDERGROUND ROCK COLLECTOR’S PIECE

This is not a standard Japanese commercial copy, but a genuine promotional edition – adding considerable collector appeal to an album that has long enjoyed cult status among enthusiasts of progressive rock, psychedelic folk and the British underground.

Japanese promo editions of obscure and highly specialized European progressive and folk releases are particularly fascinating collector’s items. Combined with the legendary reputation of “First Utterance”, this Dawn UPS-633-YD PROMO represents a very special Japanese edition of an already extraordinary record.

FIRST UTTERANCE – DARK, WILD & COMPLETELY UNIQUE

Originally released in 1971, “First Utterance” is one of the most singular albums to emerge from the British progressive underground. Even decades later, Comus sound unlike almost anything else.

The music is an unsettling and hypnotic mixture of progressive folk, psychedelic rock, acoustic experimentation and avant-garde intensity. Acoustic guitars, violin, percussion, woodwind and unusual vocal arrangements create a sound that can shift within moments from delicate and almost pastoral beauty to something frantic, ritualistic and deeply disturbing.

Roger Wootton’s highly distinctive vocals are central to the album’s character, while the band’s complex acoustic instrumentation gives pieces such as “Diana,” “Song to Comus,” “The Herald” and the monumental “Drip Drip” their extraordinary atmosphere.

There is an almost primal quality to the record – beautiful and frightening, melodic and chaotic, intimate and theatrical at the same time. It is precisely this uncompromising character that has given “First Utterance” its enduring cult reputation.

AN EXCEPTIONAL JAPANESE EDITION OF A CULT CLASSIC

For collectors, the combination is particularly compelling: Comus’ legendary debut album, a vintage 1975 Japanese Dawn pressing and genuine PROMO status.

This is the kind of record that appeals far beyond ordinary progressive rock collecting. It belongs equally in collections devoted to British underground music, acid folk, psychedelic folk, progressive rock, rare Japanese vinyl and cult albums of the early 1970s.

A remarkable Japanese PROMO edition of one of the darkest, strangest and most uncompromising masterpieces of British progressive folk – an exceptional collector’s piece for the serious Comus, Psych-Folk and underground vinyl collection.
