The second album by the Britons brought them slightly closer to the progressive current - especially in two tracks lasting 9 and 7 minutes respectively. In 1970 the musicians changed their name to Big Sleep. -

At last as a single CD and with excellent sound! Eyes Of Blue were protégés of Graham Bond (who lent them two tracks for the debut) and at the same time a cult, though still heavily underrated, British band rooted in the style of the late 60s, combining elements of late psychedelia and early prog rock (including references to classical music) - something in the style of a more 'grubby' Procol Harum of the first two albums. Hammonds, mellotron, overdriven guitars and the great vocal of Gary Pickford-Hopkins - later known from Wild Turkey. This is a real treat for lovers of playing in the vein of Crazy World Of Arthur Brown, Velvett Fogg, Pesky Gee, the Man debut, the 'second' by Plastic Penny, and so on. In addition three tracks from earlier, rhythm'n'blues singles in the style of The Artwoods and The Action are included. A MUST! (JL) -

The first time on CD in its full version, together with the excellent track "Apache 69" (which closes the vinyl version - for some reason never released on CD until now) - taken from The Shadows' repertoire! The Britons' second album brought them somewhat closer to the progressive stream - especially in two tracks lasting 9 and 7 minutes respectively. In 1970 the musicians changed their name to Big Sleep and under that banner, in 1970, recorded a single released only in Spain with a new version of "Largo" (an adaptation of Handel's piece from the debut), and that very version has been added to this edition! In addition, the CD has been expanded with the B-side of the American single, featuring the excellent track "Q III". In 1970 the Big Sleep musicians took part in the recording of an album by Ancient Grease, and in 1971 the great, though demanding several listens, LP "Bluebell Wood" saw the light of day. After the split the individual musicians went on to join, among others, Wild Turkey, Gentle Giant and Man. A MUST!
