More Art Rock
- Both sides of this vintage copy were giving us the big and bold sound we were looking for, earning INCREDIBLE Shootout Winning Triple Plus (A+++) grades or close to them
- Looking for some Proggy music that falls somewhere between Jethro Tull and Supertramp, with sonic credentials to match the recordings of those very well-recorded bands? Well, look no further
- This original UK pressing is full of the Tubey Magic and studio space that makes the band’s recordings the joy they are to play on a heavily-tweaked audiophile rig
- 4 stars: “‘Simple Sister’… is truly glorious, with Robin Trower’s frightening lead guitar work juxtaposed nicely against a wonderful string arrangement.”
- If you’re a Prog Rock or Art Rock fan, this is a classic from 1971 that belongs in your collection.
- This is best sounding recording by the band we have ever heard. Other albums of that nature can be found here.
We loved playing this album, both for the music and the sound. These guys don’t get the respect they deserve among audiophiles, but we’re doing our best to try to change that.
Side one kicks off with the hit track “Simple Sister,” and you won’t believe how hard it rocks. Some copies are overly clean — they have the kind of clarity you might hope to find, but lacked the richness and fullness that makes 70s analog so involving. Those ‘clean’ copies simply do not earn very high grades from us. We leave that sound to the Heavy Vinyl and CD crowd; they seem to like it.
