Ege

Ege is the sole album by Irish group Blimp. It was released in 1967 on the London independent label Minced Records, and has been reissued twice by a different label

Writing
The lyrics of the album, mainly consisting of exclamations and repeated phrases, were written in one day by Brian McShane, one of two vocalists in the group, and many of the instrumentals were either thought up on the spot, or conceptualized years prior.

Recording
The album was recorded in late 1966, and most of the days in the recording studio were spent jamming. Many of these jam tracks were cut down to tenths of their actual length and put on the reissue, although one did make it onto the album, as the third record.

Release
The album was released in a limited batch of 35, and the original pressings sell for upwards of £3,000. The album was reissued on CD in 1997, and on vinyl in 2018.
