Nektar - Down To Earth

Available on vinyl for the first time since its original 1974 release, Down to Earth is the whimsical, concept-driven masterpiece that followed Nektar’s massive success with Remember the Future. Shifting from deep-space exploration to a vibrant, "circus-themed" atmosphere, the album remains a unique entry in the progressive rock canon. It is famously known for featuring Robert Calvert (the legendary poet and frontman of Hawkwind) in the role of the "Ringmaster," guiding listeners through a menagerie of melodic rock and brass-infused arrangements.

This limited edition red vinyl pressing from Purple Pyramid Records gives the album the "deluxe collector's treatment" it has long deserved. Housed in a faithful gatefold jacket, the release captures the "cinematic and colorful" production of the original sessions while celebrating the band’s enduring legacy. Whether it's the funky drive of "Fidgety Queen" or the soulful "Show Me the Way," this reissue is the definitive way to experience Nektar’s most "earthbound" yet imaginative work.
