QUINTESSENCE

I received this email, it has links to a couple of old vids out of the archives of Phil 'Shiva' Jones in 1970s, thought I would pass it on for your pleasure

Jesus, Buddha, Moses, Gauranga

'Quintessence' miming to the song "Jesus, Buddha, Moses, Gauranga" on the God Rock programme from LWT TV (UK), recorded in June 1971. Shiva actually sings live, while the band is miming to an instrumental track. Hilarious to see guitar god Allan Mostert hiding behind the congas, obviously refusing to mime his guitar parts ... and isn't there a hint of irony in singer Shiv's face?'

Dear friends and lovers of QUINTESSENCE

A veritable tsunami of new live QUINTESSENCE material is about to crash on your earshores very soon: the blistering March 1970 St Pancras Town Hall show (or at least the 38 mins that remain) and over three hours worth of Queen Elizabeth Hall 1971 recordings, from two wholly unreleased concerts recorded the same day, all superbly recorded.

These have been licensed by Hux Records from Universal/Island with substantial sleevenotes by Colin Harper. Colin also unearthed a VHS of a 1971 LWT TV show on religious music featuring Q miming to "Dive Deep" and "Jesus, Buddha"... There is apparently more film around and we are happy to announce more to come in the not too distant future.

These 2 songs I have uploaded on Youtube and they can be seen here:

Have a great summer! Love and bows Rudra"
