Ekseption Ekseption (Vinyl, Phillips Records, 1969) **
Genre: Progressive
Places I remember: The Little Red Bookshop (Hastings)
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Dharma For One (yes - the Jethro Tull song)
Gear costume: Rhapsody In Blue
Active compensatory factors: Sometimes you spend 10 dollars on a punt and it works out. Sometimes you buy a prog album by Ekseption and it doesn't quite.

Things it had going for it apart from the price: 1969; the lineup includes a horn section; it is in mint condition.
Things it didn't have going for it: the Phillips record label; the cover.
Ekseption were a prog outfit from Holland doing what Nice did, but unfortunately there was no Keith Emerson in Ekseption. So, it's all a bit crazy but not inspired crazy if you get my drift.
On balance, I'd probably keep my 10 dollars for something else but it's a relic from 1969 so there is that.
Where do they all belong? Definitely prog. Won't be tracking down the rest of the Ekseption catalogue though.
