MMLP    009     JACQUES DUDON           EROSION DISTILLEE               LP      08.2016
                (Note : LP , 1000 hand-numb. copies)

At the age of 17 French multi-instrumentist Jacques Dudon taught himself how to play
the guitar, after which he started an electric blues band called The Soul Bag. Not much
later the band changed its name to Ghislain Blues Band and then finally to Blues Bag.
In 1968, the band discovered LSD, resulting in a stylistic change towards psychedelia.
The band recorded a single for EMI using the name L'Assemblée ('Le Chien') before
calling it a day. Then, in 1969, Jacques Dudon made some recordings for a solo-album,
but the project collapsed and the music was never issued... until now!

The previously unreleased album of Satan, recorded back in 1973, is an absolute must
have for fans of French progressive music. The music is a unique mix of hardrock and
progressive rock. Live the band delivered a very intense show, dark and mysterious,
inspired by the world of sci-fi and literature, with an elaborate light show and the
musicians wearing make-up and strange costumes. ed. of 1000 numbered copies

tour with Hugh Hopper. Carolfi and Weiller also played on Hopper's 'Monster Band'
album. Includes two inserts; Transparent vinyl; Edition of 1000 (numbered).
