Warm Dust – Dreams Of Impossibilities (Vinyl 2LP)

Warm Dust – Dreams Of Impossibilities is a double LP compilation by the English jazz-rock band Warm Dust, released in 1972 in Germany only on BASF (cat. no. 22 29082-4). It collects nine tracks from the debut "And It Came to Pass" (1970) and three from "Peace for Our Time" (1970) in a new mix; the spoken introductions of the "Peace for Our Time" pieces are left out. The band combined rock with a horn section of saxophones, flute and oboe; the young Paul Carrack, later known with Ace, Squeeze and Mike + The Mechanics, played organ and piano. This copy is the 1972 German original edition in a gatefold sleeve.
