Time Machine - Beggars Opera - Best

Beggars Opera was formed in the late 60s.The group’s grandiose ambition was to fuse classical and progressive rock elements, an accommodation they achieved but only to moderate critical and commercial interest. The dominant Hammond organ sound drew comparison with the Nice, who were the leading organ-led prog band at that time. They made their debut in 1970 with Act One, released concurrently with ‘Sarabande’. The single was the most successful of the two releases, charting in several mainland European countries. This compilation presents some of the great works of this unique, yet shamefully underrated prog-rock band. All songs were remastered with the excellent "Cedar" mastering system for enhanced and great listening.
