  • Description

    Originally from Southend in the UK, these are rockers Legend's two albums for Phillips' Vertigo label dating from 1970 and 1971.

    The band were led by guitarist Mickey Jupp, who wrote nearly all of the material on these recordings.

    Tony Visconti produced the first album, and Procol Harum's Dave Knights produced the second one.

    Bill Fifield, the drummer on 'Legend', was introduced to Marc Bolan by Visconti, and (after being renamed by Bolan as Bill Legend) was a member of T.Rex throughout the early to mid-1970s.

    Legend called it a day after 'Moonshine' and Jupp went on to forge a new career as a writer and producer, working with Dr Feelgood, Robin Trower, Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds amongst others.

    Digitally remastered and slipcased, and with new notes.

    Description

    180gr LP in gatefold sleeve with matt finish cover, mastered at Abbey Road Studios.
    With its distinctive, eye-catching cover, this is one of the most collectable and sought after LPs of all the famous Vertigo releases.
    Here is the band that featured Mickey Jupp, the singer, guitarist and piano player who pioneered british rock'n'roll in the early 60s and always remained true to the roots of the music.
    Hailing from Southend-On-Sea, 'Juppy' formed this version of Legend, in 1969. This album, produced by Tony Visconti for the Vertigo label, was released in 1971.
