BRIAN AUGER, JULIE DRISCOLL AND THE TRINITY Open 1967 UK MARMALADE 1st *MONO*
BRIAN AUGER, JULIE DRISCOLL AND THE TRINITYOpen
UK MARMALADE (607 002) FIRST *MONO* PRESSING (November 1967)
A VERY NICE ORIGINAL COPY WHICH SOUNDS GREAT
Side One is devoted to primarily instrumental material featuring Brian Auger, while Side Two is far more soul-rock-influenced with vocal tracks spotlighting Julie Driscoll.
It was consistent with the multi-dimensional aesthetic that Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger & the Trinity promoted, but it must have confused and perhaps even put off fans attracted to the act by the hit single "This Wheel's on Fire."
For open-minded pop fans of that time or future eras, however, it's a quite interesting blend of rock, blues, soul, and a little psychedelia.
Auger's own brand of heavily Jimmy Smith-influenced organ soul-jazz dominates the first five tracks -- in fact, "In and Out" is a cover of a tune by Smith's sometime duo partner, guitarist Wes Montgomery.
Vocal soul comes far more to the forefront on the Driscoll-driven songs, and while some of them are credible British blue-eyed soul with prominent organ, the Auger-Driscoll original "A Kind of Love In" and the cover of Donovan's "Season of the Witch" move into groovier psychedelic territory.
