This quartet of heavy psychedelia of Quebec in Canada recorded their only one album in 1971. Among collectors is loved as a hardrock masterpiece with melancholic moments and intense songs. The letters describe drug experiences. Very few copies of this LP were released. The tapes with the original recording no longer exist and the CD was released, on the label Gear Fab - session thanks to an LP by Cark Faville and Ashley Johnson.
Ellison was English - Canadian Band from Montreal Quebec. The band was originally formed in 1967 as Jimmy Peace, around the talents of vocalist/ guitarist Vincent Marandola, bass player Richard Arcand, In 1969, drummer Robert Cager and guitarist Christian Tremblay joined and the name was changed to Ellison. In 1971 the band released an excellent hard rock styled album on the independent and highly collectable Trans-World label. Mainly selling in the province of Quebec and Ontario, the album had only a limited release and quickly disappeared as did the band itself. The self titled album featured seven original songs that have been described as brash, loud, hard rock with straight from the heart vocal work. In a similar style as Canadian cohorts The Ugly Ducklings, The Haunted or the Sinners, Ellison has become one of the most sought after Canadian band albums and its legitimate reissue is welcomed by many fans. Unfortunately the master tapes of the original recordings no longer exist so this was cut from high quality vinyl sources. Despite that fact the overall sound is still quite good but there are no bonus tracks or additional material added to this release. The booklet contains liner notes from band member Vincent Marandola as well as band photos.
