Catapilla was an obscure band from West London, formed in the late 60s by guitarist Graham Wilson and saxophonist Robert Calvert (no Hawkwind!). After getting a contract with Vertigo singer Jo Meek left the band and was replaced by her sister Anna Meek. Sadly with her shrill voice she ruined this first self-titled debut album, which was released in 1971. Otherwise this experimental Jazz-Rock with long largely improvised tracks is ambitious and innovative. But the disagreements were not long in coming: most of the musicians left the combo.
Rare Vertigo release with beautiful sleeve by Rick Breach, who designed a lot of 1970s rock album covers.
