Mandalaband - Roof of the World (Indigo)

This very tatty video is the only survving copy of the original 1975 Mandalaband recording of the Indigo Sound version of Roof of the World (from the Mandalaband I album). It has never been seen before and, for that reason, is a piece of Prog Rock history that can never be repeated. The track features Dave Durant on lead vocal, Ashley Mulford on guitar, John Stimpson on bass, Vic Emerson on keyboards and Tony Cresswell on drums, with David Rohl and Steve Smith working in the control room at Indigo Sound. The video was shot after the completion of the Mandalaband I recording sessions in London and before the release of the album. As the fates would have it, this was the last time the whole band (including David Rohl) worked together as, shortly, after Dave Durant left and the rest formed a new band under the name Sad Café. So this is the only visual of Mandalaband I at play. Enjoy.

They certainly knew how to grow their hair in 1975, didn't they? Cracking tune ...

Our favourite archaeologist has certainly dug up a treasure here!
