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.

Harpsichord.

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

This is very Pink Floyd now someone's mentioned them.

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!

Ginger Baker on lead vocals. Excited

It makes you appreciate Ringo's singing.

Well, quite...

This track really adds to the muddy, dreary production.

Horrid.

"One great disaster all the way froo"

You ch*ffing said it Ginge. sad yes

by Nightjar Tue May 19, 2020 8:47 pm

This is considerably less enjoyable to listen to than the Frantic Elevators. sad yes

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?
