price: 60,00 PLN / 15,00 EUR
On CD for the first time! Second album by an excellent Dutch formation, earlier led by two later Focus musicians. How little known the LP "Parts", released in 1972 (by EMI Harvest), is can be shown by the fact that in the cult and much sought-after book "Scented Gardens Of The Mind" (devoted to the European progressive scene of the 70s) the author listed this catalogue record as... a compilation! So it is worth pointing out that it is completely brand new, rock, decidedly guitar-driven playing (with two ballads) close to the style of such groups as Wishbone Ash, the Dutch Cargo and Livin' Blues - with a touch of the then so popular Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Despite two weaker passages it is a really great, very varied record that will certainly satisfy 80-90% of fans of old playing! In addition several rare tracks from singles (not included among the bonus tracks to the debut) and a live number from the super rare, compilation (vinyl) soundtrack to the film 'Paradiso' (1971) are included. Highly recommended!
