Masquerade: Dawn Years Anthology (Eng)

2007 digitally remastered two CD collection, the first ever official CD release for all of the band's recordings for Pye's Dawn Records label. Jonesy were one of the most innovative British bands of the early 70's. Placing a Mellotron at the centre of their sound and taking influences from the worlds of Jazz, Rock, Classical music and Folk, Jonesy recorded a single and three albums (No Alternative, Keeping Up and Growing) for Pye's progressive Dawn imprint. Drawing comparisons to King Crimson and Yes, Jonesy were more than that. Classic Rock's Malcolm Dome declared recently; "Jonesy were more than mere mimics of any Fripp-ery. They made some fascinating records". Now, for the first time, Esoteric gathers all of Jonesy's recorded output for Dawn Records and gathers it on this deluxe two CD set, with all tracks remastered from the original master tapes.
