Recorded in the winter of 1971 at Gooseberry Sound Studios, a tiny four-track room tucked away in a Gerrard Street basement, this album captures Lifeblud at a decisive moment. The band had already been together for several years, refining a sound that blended British folk roots with emerging progressive ideas. These recordings present reworked versions of earlier songs alongside more expansive material, shaped by bowed strings, 12-string guitar, Mellotron textures and extended instrumental passages. There's a strong sense of exploration throughout: medieval-tinged melodies sit next to heavier sections, reflective lyrics give way to long, flowing codas, and the playing balances intimacy with ambition. Made during a single long session, the performances retain the rough edges and spontaneity of the time. Half a century on, these tracks stand as a rare document of a band operating just below the surface of the early-70s progressive scene, capturing both their musical identity and the moment before it slipped away.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Good Time","offers":[{"title":"New \/ CD \/ Be Thou My Very Armour Good Time","offer_id":49098265919796,"sku":"GODM24303918.2","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/7436\/1652\/files\/4508799-3570525.jpg?v=1777910777","url":"https:\/\/www.fye.com\/products\/lifeblud-be-thou-my-very-armour_aec-godm24303918-2","provider":"FYE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
