Total Issue by Total Issue released in 1971 on United Artists
Discogs bio:
Although Total Issue were comprised of jazz musicians, including two luminaries of the French jazz/fusion scene: Henri Texier and Aldo Romano, plus the genre-hopping Georges Locatelli they were anything but jazz. Total Issue played psychedelic rock, with stylish pop and prog touches.
Sean Trane wrote on progarchives:
Les Marins is very noteworthy for its superb bass line and its Indian-influenced middle section. Porte Ouverte is the A-side's centrepiece with a slow start and a hesitant flute to boot, but once it kicks in, the mood is jazzy/spacey with wild lenghty solo and excellent interplay, but retaining a raw garage-like quality...
