****C.O.B -Spirit of Love (1971) -Great & Achingly beautiful Incredible String Band-related Folk-Psych. DON'T MISS THIS ONE!!****


C.O.B stands for Clive’s Original Band and Spirit of Love was their first album released in 1971 on CBS (69010). Clive Palmer is a well known British folk musician that started out as one of the original Incredible String Band members.

On this album, the C.O.B. trio was completed by multi-instrumentalists and singers John Bidwell and Mick Bennett, with some other musicians (including Ralph McTell) lending a hand on some tracks. The record is a surprisingly engaging piece of rock- and psychedelic-tinged British folk music reminiscent of the Incredible String Band at their most melodic. It rounds off some of the grating bent notes, vocals, and weirdness that both got the ISB some cred with psychedelic fans and annoyed others.

the Mediafire download site for this album attempted to attack my computer

I'm very sorry if u have had problems with Mediafire, it is one of the best file sharing sites, but with p2p u always have to be careful, block those popups and make sure you have a decent malware program on your pc etc etc. I personally have never had any probs with mediafire, i have always found it very hassle. free compared to many others.
