Esoteric Recordings
are pleased to announce the release of a brand new 2CD deluxe anthology of the
complete recordings by the legendary C.C.S.

Formed in
1970, C.C.S. (Collective Consciousness Society) was the brainchild of musician
and arranger John Cameron, guitarist Alexis Korner (the father of British
Blues) and producer MIckie Most. The group was initially conceived as a
recording band only, but following the success of their legendary cover version
of Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love” (used as the theme for “Top of the Pops”
for many years) and “Tap Turns on the Water”, the band also undertook live
work.

C.C.S.
featured the cream of jazz and blues talent such as flautist Harold McNair,
bass players Herbie Flowers and Spike Heatley, sax players Tony Coe and Ron Ross,
trumpet players Henry Lowther, Kenny Wheeler and Harold Beckett and drummers
Barry Morgan and Tony Carr.

Between
1970 and 1973 C.C.S. released three albums and seven singles for RAK Records,
with one album and four singles all reaching the UK Top Forty.


This
Esoteric Recordings release has been newly remastered from the original master
tapes and features all of the band’s recordings for RAK Records. The set also
features an illustrated booklet with new essay.Release Date: 29/07/2013
