Track 4 - Dance the Night Away.

There were countless other virtually unknown psych bands at the time doing more interesting stuff than this.

Just check out the Chocolate Soup for Diabetics compilations.

They had to get someone in write lyrics for them.

shifty

I think they needed to hire proper songwriters.

The Chocolate Soup for Diabetics compilations that missed out on my 10 albums in 10 days nonsense simply by dint of being a series of multiple records. rant

Probably some quite good drumming, if I could actually, like hear it.

Track 5 - Blue Condition.

Sharp's spectacular cover art really flatters the album's musical content...

The individual musicians are just trading on their reputations.

It's incredibly weak song-writing in all honesty.

Ginger on vocals!

It makes you appreciate Ringo's singing.

Well, quite...

This track really adds to the muddy, dreary production.

Horrid.

Track 6 - Tales of Brave Ulysses.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue May 19, 2020 8:48 pm

It's less than 3 minutes long. Surely a song with that title should be at least 20?
