On CD for the first time! Released in 1970 by Capitol, the group's second album, like the debut (only minimally better), is for us an incredible sensation and another reason that there is still plenty of excellent, old, top-shelf music left to discover! This relatively (still) unknown album is a sophisticated and catchy combination of early prog rock, late, rock psychedelia, blues and ambitious, baroque pop. Procol Harum, The Beatles, Andwella's Dream, early Traffic, Cream - these are the names to which the music of this underrated formation can be compared. The sound engineer was Terry Brown - later producer of the best Rush records. In 1972 the band changed its line-up somewhat, mellowed, recorded the pleasant, very catchy Last Song (no. 3 in the States), then the mega-popular LP Edward Bear (1973) and became a pop-rock star (and Quentin Tarantino's favourite group), as a result of which the excellent two earlier albums were forgotten for years. A MUST!
