I found an interesting little online mag/blog called MOOF - moofmag.com/ It's not strictly prog, in fact it describes itself as "psychedelic music & arts magazine with a penchant for the more obscure" but there is a bit of crossover when thery're discussing bands like Comus and Jan Dukes De Gray who sort of sit on the prog/folk border, although the actual article references acid-folk. Their "album of the week" in the July issue was released in 1970 - Sweet Smoke's J ust A Poke - although there are a couple of others also laying claim to the album of the week title, by Julie Tippets (1975) and Kevin Ayres (1969). I found out about it via an article on Keith Christmas (for anyone who remembers him) in their print version, which has sadly, for me, sold out.

Very Early prog takes its roots fro Psychedelic Rock/pop, A very fine line that a lot of Crossover prog bands could not fully shake off.. A hell of a lot of those bands called it a day after one album so never saw any vision to Progress fully. When i refer to Psych i dont mean Flowers in your Hair/ Acid etc.. This is an example of a band crossing over from Psychedelic pop style to early prog.

This is typical British Psychedelic Pop album. Which is actually a great LP especially tracks like "We'Ve All Seen The Queen"

Phases in Music should & did last a few years at the most. Longer & it will self destruct as Prog certainly did imho.. The reason i have no real interest in it by 1973, very few exceptions.

btw: That Sweet Smoke LP is superb, A great cover of The Doors "Soft Parade" I can confirm that. I've been playing it for more years than I can work out! One of those albums about which friends used to say things like "How can you listen to an album with only two tracks on it?"
