Balaklava, Pearls Before Swine (1968)
?Scaruffi...
"Tom Rapp's Pearls Before Swine were perhaps the greatest band venturing in psychedelic-folk during the 1960s. Their two masterpieces, One Nation Underground (1967) and especially Balaklava (1968) are mosaics of atmospheric songs that defy classification, evoking the hallucinated state of Dali's surrealism, lushly arranged, and influenced by both classical and jazz music."
Piero Scaruffi on Pearls Before Swine

The album cover is taken from "The Triumph of Death" an oil painting on panel, painted c. 1562 by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, it depicts the grotesque horrors of war. Tom Rapp wanted to produce a themed anti-war album, and chose the Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava in 1854 as an example of the futility of war. The album was dedicated to Private Edward Slovik, the only US soldier executed for desertion in the Second World War. [Wikipedia]

PB: The LP starts with the Edison C19 voice recordings Trumpeter Landfrey and ends with Florence Nightingale. It is not obvious what connection there is with the Charge in any of the lyrics, though there is a vague reference in one of the songs...
