MAD CURRY - Mad Curry +2 - SWE Flawed Gems Expanded - LISTEN - VERY RARE

Together with Laurelie, Waterloo and Irish Coffee, the formation Mad Curry belonged to the pioneering group of progressive formations that appeared in Belgium at the very end of the 60s. Originally released in the form of a poster folding out "into six", the band's only album contained jazzy, still slightly psychedelic, fairly melodic, but already decidedly progressive playing typical of that period (1969-1970), based on the interplay of saxophone, flute and Hammond organ (but without guitar) - modelled above all on the work of early Van Der Graaf Generator and Brian Auger with Julie Driscoll and the Trinity. Mad Curry's vocalist was somewhat reminiscent of the then very popular Julie, although personally I would sooner compare her to Carol Grimes (of Delivery) and to the vocalist of Julian's Treatment. In addition two tracks from the only single, released before the album was made, are included. This is an obligatory item for all fans of old, European sounds from the turn of the decades. Highly recommended!
