British studio psych project, reminds me of Colosseum. The flights from guitar and piano/organ are anchord by a nice prominent bass from "Jackson Primrose" - credits must be made-up for contractual reasons. a thrift store find from 6 years ago.

This album is seriously a gem. How lucky you are....

Irish traditional folk music. Remember all those summer openair festivals in the 70ies in ancient locations.
Commercial success was not the main aspect then. Funny times........

[Fritz The Cat]

This is not the "Sugar Baby Love"-thing anymore. Unexpected. Matured songwriting, great harmony vocals and many different influences.
The Rubettes were a disco/dancing floor orientated group. But on this one we may meet the Beatles, CSN&Y, folk influences.....
Produced by Tremeloes' Alan Blakely.
Notice on lyrics-sheet: "And Alan....Surprise surprise, this didn't make the playlist either."

Keith Jarrett - The Mourning Of A Star
(1971, Atlantic) AT/GP symbol in the deadwax






w/ Charlie Haden and Paul Motian. includes a cover of Joni Mitchell's All I Want.

Ken Hensley - Proud Words On A Dusty Shelf
(1973, Bronze) UK pressing





produced by Gerry Bron. Hensley has some help from Uriah Heep mates on bass and drums, but vocals and other instruments are by Hensley. The usual bombastic, overblown lyrics but nice playing and sound quality on a combination of rockers and ballads.

Freddie And The Dreamers - Seaside Swingers / Original Motion Picture Sound Track
(1965, Mercury) MONO




some good stuff here in between schmaltzy 60s musical show tunes

[Fritz The Cat]

Dusty words from a proud self. He was the mastermind of Uriah Heep.
But it went to his head. Too much drugs and ego. Missing David Byron (also: too much drugs and ego).
A tragedy for most of the talented musicians.
German pressing with poor dynamics.

[Fritz The Cat]

Excellent versions of 2 Joni Mitchell songs: A5 "Urge for going" and B5 "The circle game".
And the wonderful James Taylor tune B4 "Something in the way she moves".
Good dynamics on this French pressing.

[Fritz The Cat]

A multicolored bunch of flowers. This is a superb album with perfect dynamics. Imho it's one for the desert island. It has got the whole world of music in it.
All winners no fillers.
