End of second cd loses steam fast with those crummy Hollies-type tracks.
And the soul-tracks are pretty rubbish, but overall, there is lotta great music here.
These guys should have become a MONSTER teen band back then. Even being on EMI didnt help their career (pre Gentle Giant). How do you explain this?
The guy whose table I shared at the record convention had an absolute minto copy of "Reservations" lp. I think it was priced near $100.
Didn't sell.
Dupree must have been one of the first bands ,after Moodies, to use the mellotron - in this case the Abbey Road mellotron which was just a recent installation at the time of "Kites" in '67.
Hi Skip...some good (and some V.good) Brit Lps in a less poppy vein...
Gods Genesis & To Samuel A Son
Love Sculpture Forms and Feelings
Freedom Nerosubianco(Black on White)
East of Eden Mercator Projected
Bulldog Breed Made In England
Hardin & York Tomorrow Today
These all veer toward a more rock / on the cusp of progressive style while still retaining elements of the pop psych sounds....
..anyway whatever you want to call it, they're all worthwhile
Thank you. I listened to the Black and White album yesterday and have already played it three times. I think it's going to be one to add to my collection. I've also tried the Love Sculpture and the guitar work is really really impressive. I'm not as sure about the song-writing though. Are these two of your favourites? The orchestration on the Black and White is so good it almost reminds me of Gainsbourg's Histoire album. The keyboard (or something similar) is also really prominent and consistently excellent on this album.
