T2 - 1971-72 (Unreleased 3rd Album) - US Acme / Lion Digipack Edition

Very good, previously unreleased material recorded still as a trio, but already in a changed line-up, though with vocalist/drummer/main composer Peter Dunton still on board. What is there to write... T2 is the greatest mystery and the greatest hard-luck case in the history of British rock. Had the brilliant second ('T2' from 1970) and this third album come out in their day, we would be dealing with rock masterpieces! "1971-72" contains nine tracks, of which 6-7 are at the group's typical, very high level, while the remaining 2-3 are a little unpolished (including a decent, acoustic ballad and a nice drum solo with additions), yet they still have class. Despite the fact that it is slightly weaker material than the earlier two killers, it is still the slowly rolling like a steamroller, dark, yet at the same time intriguing with sudden changes of mood T2 with a dreamy vocal - such as we have known and adored for years. The sound quality is like on the previous, archive CD, sometimes minimally better, sometimes a little worse, but without hiss. An absolute MUST!!!!! (JL)
