SEVEN - The Song Is Song - The Album Is Album - EU Eclipse Remastered Edition - LISTEN - VERY RARE

FIRST TIME ON CD! A long-awaited by die-hard fans, great-sounding reissue from the Eclipse label of the only album, released in 1970, by a cult, American jazz-rock band with slightly soul and funk inclinations. Personally I am not fond (to put it delicately) of funk from the late 70s and after..., but early, funky playing circa 1969-1971 is excellent! I have known and owned The Seven's only and completely forgotten record for many years and consider it one of the nicest and most convincing titles inspired by the work of Blood Sweat & Tears and Chicago Transit Authority. The musicians of The Seven played with somewhat more ease, but with no less fire and dynamism - especially in the guitar parts! Probably if the LP had come out on, say, CBS/Columbia (rather than the local label Thunderbird), we would be dealing with another jazz-rock star! Highly recommended! (JL)
