Cirkus was a band from UK.
"In 1973 Cirkus recorded their debut album "Cirkus One" at Sound Associates/Emison & Air Studios and just 1000 copies were pressed up. It is widely regarded by many collectors today as the most
musically accomplished private pressing of its kind to emerge out of the UK's. (...)
Cirkus One remains an exquisite album of outstanding creativity" (from  the band biography by Andrew of  progarchives.com)
