RSD 2020 release. Sunbeam Records present a reissue of Raw Material's self-titled release, originally released in 1970. Raw Material made little impact on the crowded London scene in the late '60s and early '70s, but their blend of prog, psych, and jazz has gone on to become a firm favorite with cognoscenti all over the world. Their classic debut album was originally issued in October 1970, and receives its definitive reissue with this deluxe double-LP. As well as the full album, it features both sides of all three singles they'd made to date, as well as the whole of the Sounds Progressive LP they'd released under a pseudonym. The set comes in a gatefold sleeve and includes a packed large-format booklet offering detailed background notes (drawing on original interviews) and copious photos and promo materials, as well as a reproduction of the promo poster sent to a few UK record shops at the time. Double, 180 gram vinyl; hand-numbered gatefold sleeve; 16-page, full-color booklet and repro A3 poster.
