SYN - Flowerman - Rare Blooms From The Syn 1965-1969 - UK Grapefruit Digipack Edition - LISTEN

A compilation released in 2021 containing tracks by the British psychedelic band, one of whose founders was Chris Squire (and Peter Banks joined it soon afterwards), from 1965-1969, when it never got a record released (which happened only after the reunion in 2004). In 1967 the band released the singles "Flowerman / 14 Hour Technicolour Dream" and "Created By Clive / Grounded". Besides these, the album contains, among other things, a five-minute fragment of a rehearsal of the track "Gangster Opera", a demo version of "Flowerman", an acetate of the then unreleased "Merry-Go-Round" and two tracks by the band (including a cover of "I Can't Explain" by The Who), still under its earlier name - The Selfs. As bonuses two demo tracks recorded in 1974, in the line-up: Squire, the vocalist Steve Nardelli and the keyboard player Andrew Pryce, and "Grounded 2004" from 2004.
