Every other re-release since then has been a counterfeit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>The album features four members of The Gods: Ken Hensley (also of Uriah Heep, credited here as Ken Leslie), Lee Kerslake (also of Uriah Heep, credited here as Lee Poole), John Glascock (also of Jethro Tull, credited here as John Leadhen) and Brian Glascock (credited here as Brian Poole).<br>This 50th Anniversary Edition has been given a 2020 re-mastering and its better sound quality than any previous edition. The packaging is a 6-panel digipack and the booklet features new liner notes by David Paramor plus exclusive comments from Ken Hensley, Lee Kerslake and Brian Glascock.<br>Work on this re-release was completed in early 2020, for a May release which was the 50th Anniversary month of it\u2019s first release. The Covid-19 pandemic delayed that plan and then the publicity was held, when Lee Kerslake and then Ken Hensley passed away, to ensure the painstaking work undertaken on this re-release wouldn\u2019t be mistaken for a cash in.<br>The original producer David Paramor endorsed the re-release saying\u00a0<em>\u201cThis album is a chapter in the history of everyone involved, and in these days of less prudish attitudes, I hope this 50th Anniversary release will bring some of the tracks to a wider audience.\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>Head Machine official merchandise has been made available for the first time via this link:<\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.redbubble.com\/people\/HeadMachine\/explore\">https:\/\/www.redbubble.com\/people\/HeadMachine\/explore<\/a><br><strong>The 50th Anniversary Definitive Edition Re-Release is available here:<\/strong><br>Amazon CD:\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/HeadMachineCD\">https:\/\/geni.us\/HeadMachineCD<\/a><br>Amazon LP:\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/HeadMachineLP\">https:\/\/geni.us\/HeadMachineLP<\/a><br>iTunes:\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/HeadMachinei\">https:\/\/geni.us\/HeadMachinei<\/a><br>Spotify:\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/HeadMachineS\">https:\/\/geni.us\/HeadMachineS<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Head Machine\u2019s\u00a0Orgasm\u00a0album was recorded in 1969 and this is the FIRST OFFICIAL RE-RELEASE of the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14464,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23,2],"tags":[226,1422,1420,1421,470],"class_list":["post-14463","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music-news","category-news","tag-classic-rock","tag-head-machine","tag-ken-hensley","tag-lee-kerslake","tag-uriah-heep"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14463","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14463"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14463\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14465,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14463\/revisions\/14465"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14463"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
