In two sessions in October 1972 and February 1973 at Dierks’ Studios in Stommeln, Germany, a fine and powerful double album was created featuring such Nektar classics as ‘Good Day’, ‘New Day Dawning’, ‘Wings’, ‘A Day In The Life Of A Preacher’ and ‘Cast Your Fate’.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnavailable officially for some years, this Esoteric Recordings’ edition is most welcome and has been newly remastered and expanded to include an additional CD featuring over 70 minutes of alternate versions and live material.
