1969

Этот альбом раннехристианской рок-группы Omega. Названный «Мичиган-авеню», он был выпущен в 1969 году на Fellowship FWP-110. Это хорошо сделанный альбом с легкой фузз-гитарой, придающей ему немного психоделического ощущения.

Очередной  редкий, видимо единственный альбом на христианскую тему, к тому же концептуальный, как следует из пояснения на обороте обложки (о неком молодом человеке, живущем грустно и одиноко до той поры, пока не понял, что любовь к Господу есть путь к просветлению, но вот как он шёл к этому пониманию и есть настоящая драма). Опять же, исходя из текста на том обороте, к созданию альбома, да и то некоторым образом, причастны Steve Edmonds, Bob Edmonds, Ian Middlemass, Don Knowles, Paul Middleton, а вместе с ними ещё и Chris Griffiths, Anne Henderson да Gavin Hewitt, но музыкальная специализация хотя бы одного из них не указана. Авторские права на все остальные подробности создания релиза принадлежат заведению "The Generation Club" города Durham City, который, кстати, есть и в американском штате Северная Каролина, но поскольку на обложке обозначен адрес этого клуба, то становится понятным, что речь идёт об административном центре одноимённого графства в регионе Северо-Восточная Англия. Между тем рецензентами, помимо чрезвычайной редкости, материал альбома признаётся как очень хороший psych/folk

Электроакустическая фолк группа из Веллингтона (New Zealand), чьи альбомы в настоящее время встречается очень редко. Тут вам бубны и маракасы, гармоника и орган, ну и гитары... Очень классный LP от начала до конца с разнообразными мелодиями и приятными гармониями,Альбом 1973 года этой Новозеландкой группы пожалуй является лучшим folk-rocky альбом эпохи хиппи.
Бренчание гитары, кипучие вокальные гармонии, солнечный свет лирики, здорово напоминает Traffic. А главное все это делается с явной иронией и драйвом. Короче для тех кто понимает и любит фолк-рок. 
Есть отголоски не только Traffic’а, но также Crosby, Stills & Nash и что менее всего ожидаемо, отголоски Yes - группы, в которой действительно было некоторое фолк-рок влияние. Прослушиваются так же средневековые мелодии и легкие оттенки folkiest моменты конца 60-х Beatles.

Willow

"Willow’s sophomore album, Branching Out, released in 1974, is a perfect advertisment for the glory of collecting vinyl. This is simply an album you would almost certainly never hear about, never listen to, and never find if you did not dig in the crates. The reason is that Willow, like so many countless bands from the Sixties through the Eighties (but especially the Seventies) has never had its catalog released in any other musical format. And that is both a crime and a selfish delight".

"A lot of people have an instant aversion to “soft rock.” Most imagine insipid lyrics, watery harmonies and bland musical arrangements. That couldn’t be further from the case with Branching Out which, as its name indicates, is a musical step forward for the trio in lyrics, texture and engineering quality. The album alternates between high tempo Byrds-inspired folk rock on tracks like “No Sweat” and “Taking Life Easy” and intricately arranged string-laced ballads such as “Thinking of You” and “All My Life” that possess a memorably aching, poignant beauty".


 Willow was an early to mid '70's Bay Area acoustic folk rock band that made two albums with 20th Century Fox. Their music has been described as "an amalgam of CSNY and America. Great harmonies and fluid acoustic guitars deliver strong songs." The album was also described as "melodic rural rock with middle of the road songwriting". The music is comparable to early '70's British bands like Lindisfarne, and McGuinness Flint, although with a more West Coast "poppy" sound.

Saft

Saft was a progressive rock band from Bergen, Norway, active in the early 70s. Brothers Ove Thue and Trygve Thue were the backbone of the band. Saft's largest hit was People in Motion, which beat Slade to Norway's first victory in the radio-show "European Pop Jury". Norwegian lyrics and elements of folk music were characteristics of Saft's varied output.

B4 Hold Me 3:24

B5 Wake Me When It’s Over 2:29

B6 Hello Sleepy Sidewalk 2:11

1968


Harper And Rowe LP, похоже, был студийным проектом, так как я не смог найти по нему никакой информации. В общем, на этой тарелке куча классной поп-рока. Они работают в разных направлениях с Sunshine Pop, Soul Rock, Pop Psych и прямо на Beat Pop Rock. Оркестровка жесткая, а производственная ценность солидная. Side One сильна и начинается с броского достойного сингла "Here Comes Yesterday Again". В "You And Me" есть приятный пух. "Love Machine" мог бы стать еще одним синглом с его оптимистичными ритмами. Вторая сторона не так сильна, но все же последовательна. Фанковые гитарные движения в "Wake Me When It’s Over" довольно крутые. Closer "Hello Sleepy Sidewalk" имеет заразительные зацепки и аранжировки хора.

В составе группы три парня и три девушки и единственный альбом вышел тиражом в 1000 экземпляров. Самое частое определение этого альбома -"невероятно странный". И этот альбом явно претендует на звание концептуального - все песни объединены одной темой - борьбой полов.Ироничные тексты и интересное решение почти всех песен-соперничество мужского соло и женского ансамбля. Звучат то настоящими пятидесятыми, а то как-будто в 21 веке решили спеть под 50-60 гг. Действительно очень необычный альбом.-

The colour of Sage , most likely purple with streaks of blue, well that’s if you’ve ever listened to Paul Brett’s Sage. The multi-colored juggled history of Paul Brett most likely started with the group SW4 headed by future Blonde On Blonde Ralph Denyar. Paul would also replace Jimmy Page in Neil Christian & The Crusaders. A brief entry into the Arthur Brown Union yielded their first single, the Pete Townshend produced “Devil’s Grip” with Ronnie Wood on bass.


After brief excursions in 1967 with the Overlanders and Warren Davis Monday Band, Paul would enjoy sessions with the Dave Terry Band which later evolved into Elmer Gantry Band. The age of psychedelia had provided enriched pathways for the gifted Brett as he took his riffs to Tintern Abbey and springboarded from their into the melting pot of Elmer Gantry’s second album Ride A Hustler’s Dream which pushed out an urgent version of Blind Willie McTell’s “Statesboro Blues”. The roads were many and the options countless but a distinct destiny drew Paul into the Soulmates where he met the gifted twelve string guitarist, ex Levee Breakers Johnny Joyce who at that stage had just left Velvet Opera. The group Friday’s Chylde had just metamorphosed into Fire and churned out a surging psyche single called “Father’s Name Was Dad” with future Strawb Dave Lambert on lead. Paul would enter for the 1970 conceptual Magic Shoemaker, acknowledged as a masterpiece in the same spirit as the Small Faces’ Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake.



The Brett sessions Paul’s sessions were scattered and endless as he persued the majestic chord that David once held in his Solomon wisdom. Amongst the chosen and frozen were poet Roy Harper’s unforgettable Sophisticated Beggar, Al Stewart’s Zero She Flies alongside Jimmy Page ..the “Volcano” and “Mary Jane” singles honed from Elmar Gantry’s debut which did not include Paul as an official member. Paul would further his sessions with Strawbs on Dragonfly (lead guitar on "The Vision Of The Lady Of The Lake") and various singles included on Classic Strawbs. To add to this magnificent database Paul Brett also filled in the gaps with The Ivy League, The Flower Pot Men, Status Quo, the prolific Barclay James Harvest, ex Strawbs - Hudson & Ford, Max Bygraves, The Cyril Stapleton Orchestra, Lonnie Donegan and folk stalwart Ralph McTell, known for his hit “Streets Of London”. 


The first coming of Sage ignited when ex Fire lighters Dick Dufall and percussionist ,vocalist Bob Voice joined lead guitarist Paul Brett to form Paul Brett's Sage with added employment of Nicky Higginbottom on flute and sax. The 1970 self titled ‘Hourglass’ debut was celebrated by the superb seven inch “Three D Mona Lisa” / “Mediterranean Lazy Heat” riddled with superb time signatures. The album was a shivering fusion of bongos , astounding acoustic and pulsing rhythms superbly enhanced by Jethro Tull arranger David Palmer.The percussive rhythms of “The Sun Died” and bass ambling “Little Aztec Prince” are the core style of this story tell album. Often not told are the superb lyrics ..”Reason For Your Asking” - .’You asked me why a flower died and why the Eastern horsemen rides, Why the silver lash of rain hides footprints in the dusty lane’ . Tolkienistic dimensions and apocalyptic visions cradle “Trophies Of War” and the severing “Warlock”. The 1971Jubilation Foundry, more of an acoustic affair and in hindsight Sage’s most established creation with it’s mature fusion of acoustic and harmonies now included ex Titus Groan Stuart Cowell as lead guitarist who later did some amazing things with Al Stewart. 



Paul King who later played with Lambert in the King Earl Boogie Band played the harmonica on Jubilation. The album yielded the single “Dahlia” / “Cottage Made for Two”. A strong country element threads the album with elements of Strawbs, Magna Carta but a more definitive pick can be found in the heart sagging “I Fell So Far” and harmony filled “Tuesday Evening”. A cry from the gutter to the utter spills out of “Help Me Jesus” an eerie bluesy ballad that carries it’s message into the follow up holler “Jubilation Foundry”. By the time the 1972 Schizophrenia hit the shelves Sage were back into electric with some stirring lead fusion on “Custom Angel Man”. a psychedelic master of note. The album enlisted Dave Lambert on piano and organ. Schizophrenia also sprouts some very fast guitar and nifty riffs on “Song Of Life, “Song Of Death” and “Slow Down Man” with Rod Coombes on drums. In the spirit of Jubilation’s “Tuesday Evening” those S&G harmonies reel through “Tale Of A Rainy Night”. Rob Young stepped in for the flute and oboe on the exquisite “Autumn”, a Strawb template in anybody’s book. Paul brett would later team up with ex Levee Breakers Johnny Joyce from Velvet Opera as an acoustic duo and then Cyril Stapleton Orchestra (with Dave Palmer of Jethro Tull and Bob Voice of Fire. 

Paul’s awesome fretwork spills through (Bradley’s Records) “Mr.Custer“ & “Summer Driftin“ singles. From 1973 Paul’s solo albums on Bradleys Records, backed by violinist/guitarist Mike Piggott first heard with John Dummer Blues Band , Bert Janch and added multi-instrumentalist Dave Griffiths rule the roost. Further albums most likely deemed Prog or Suites wash Clock’s , Phoenix Future and Earth Birth, the latter a must. The definitive purchase must be Fretdancer by Paul and that 12-string mandarin called Johnny Joyce that even Shawn Phillips stands in awe of. Paul Brett continues to record, evolving with each recording. Sadly Johnny Joyce passed from this world to a far greater dimension.

He played lead guitar with Strawbs, The Overlanders, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Elmer Gantry’s Velvet Opera, The Velvet Opera, Tintern Abbey, Fire, Roy Harper, Al Stewart, Lonnie Donegan, and switched to twelve string guitar in the 1970s.
