Proto-Metal and Progressive Rock Masterpiece: Atomic Rooster ‘Death Walks Behind You’ Crystal Clear & Black Marbled Vinyl (MOVLP1907)
This 2023 release from Music On Vinyl, in collaboration with Sanctuary Records, presents a high-fidelity reissue of Atomic Rooster’s 1970 masterpiece, Death Walks Behind You. Led by the formidable keyboardist Vincent Crane following his departure from The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, the album is widely regarded as a cornerstone of early heavy progressive rock and proto-metal. The record features the iconic trio of Crane, guitarist and vocalist John Du Cann, and drummer Paul Hammond, delivering a dark, aggressive sound characterized by complex arrangements and heavy Hammond organ riffs.
Limited Edition Collector’s Specifications
This specific edition is a limited, individually numbered reissue pressed on unique Crystal Clear and Black Marbled vinyl. The visual presentation is complemented by a high-quality gatefold sleeve featuring the celebrated “Nebuchadnezzar” artwork by William Blake, which perfectly mirrors the album’s haunting and somber atmosphere. This copy is preserved in its original outer plastic sleeve, which carries the distinctive Music On Vinyl hype sticker detailing the specific color variant and the limited nature of the pressing.
Technical Excellence and High-Fidelity Production
The production of this release meets the rigorous standards of the Music On Vinyl label, having been manufactured at the renowned Record Industry pressing plant in the Netherlands. A notable technical detail preserved in this edition is the explanation of Vincent Crane’s innovative bass performance, which he achieved through a combination of left-hand technique and foot pedals on the Hammond organ, supplemented by custom sound reproduction devices. Licensed from BMG Rights Management, this 2023 pressing ensures that the raw power and intricate dynamics of the original 1970 recordings are delivered with modern audiophile clarity.
