This album, which is a cross between Fantasy and
The Moody Blues (circa 1971), is worth checking out. Asgard came from the West Country and their first 45 was produced by Tony Clarke. They were also one of the first bands signed by Gerry Hoff, head of The
Moody Blues' Threshold label.
Rod Harrison had previously played in Please and Bulldog
Bread, whilst James Smith and Ian Snow had also played with
Stonehouse.
