Zior's 1971 debut album got immediate attention when it was released because the band used the same artist that Black Sabbath had used on their first album (an artist called Keef). This first album is a knockout of fantastic heavy rock and is still one of my favourite albums of that year. Zior was a 4 piece band but, on both albums, the 4th member is missing in the photos. weird! Originally released on Nepentha records, the band then switched to Intercord for the release of 1973's masterpiece "Every Inch A Man".


180 gram thick card LP version of the unreleased second album from the collectable UK progressive rockers. Mainly recorded in 1971, this contains the solid heavy rock - with fine lead guitar - that the band have become known for. On Certain songs Zior used organs,harps & flutes making a variety of progressive/psychedelic inroads which become really noticable on the 6 minute epic 'Angel of the Highway'.
