Advantages: One great song Disadvantages: A Few samey ones
..., and sounds strangely familiar, making me suspect that this is a different version of a song I have heard before. Strangely there are no lyrics printed for this.
Even stranger things happen at the end of this though - the timer on my CD display started going backwards! Spooky - is this the modern equivalent of those backward satanic messages on vinyl? Probably not, but four minutes later we do get a drunken rendition of "In A Gadda DaVida".
One outstanding track, one quite good, and the rest OK. Not too bad a return...

Advantages: Top quality pop-rock Disadvantages: Only to those without an open mind
...tracks, but the masterpiece title track is built around the rich tenor sound. Following an atmospheric choral introduction in the traditional style, Fredericks, Goldman and Jones sing the ideals of communism – and why the philosophy ultimately fails: “Mais si la guerre éclate/ Sur nos idées trop belles/ Autant crever pour elles/ Que ramper sans combattre” (But if war breaks out/ Because of our too-beautiful ideals/ Better to die for them/ Than to give up without a fight). The choir returns to dramatic effect as the tempo is ramped up and bizarrely, reminds me of that time when a certain Bart Simpson switched the organ music for Iron Butterfly’s 17-minute epic “In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida”...

Advantages: The title track Disadvantages: Betcha you've never heard of it, eh?
...Released in 1968, this is one of the albums that bridged the gap between the 1960's pop sounds and the heavier blues that came later on. It's very much an album of two halves, Brian, side one being hippie-dippie flower power stuff, but no worse for it, and side two consisting of the title track alone, in all its majestic seventeen minutes. The US FM stations loved it, and it opened the record company's eyes to the sheer huge financial prospects of artist albums. This was the first album to go platinum, and to date has sold something like 27 million copies! Waddya mean, you've never heard of it?
The band, coming out of Los Angeles in 1968, were Doug Ingle (keyboards, vocals), Lee Dorman (bass), Ron Bushy (drums) and the late Erik Brann (guitar), who sadly died not too long ago aged only 52.
