The one and only album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
This album was originally released as a private pressing in Wimbledon, London before the reissue label Bright Carvings gave it a more official release in 2024.
I will review around five Bright Carvings albums, their more prog/psych rock albums in the coming weeks.
This album clocks in at forty minutes.
The music is heavy psych.
Bright Carvings has done an impressive good job in cleaning up the sound here. The sound is pretty good. So much that the music is pretty clear. This also makes this a pretty charming album too.
This album includes a version of Spooky Tooth's Better By You Better By Me, later also covered by Judas Priest.
The rest of the songs varies from hard rockers, mid-tempo psych rock and slower psych rock.
The guitars and organs are good. Ditto for the vocals.
I am surprised that no record label released this album back in 1971. They lost out on an album which probably would have sold very well back in those days. The quality is surprisingly good. Very surprisingly good.
There are some not so good songs here. But the rest is really good. Hence, this is a pretty good album and a bit of a charmer. An old charmer, no less.
