Sing Brother Sing equals the psychedelic cohesiveness and insouciant air of the Edgar Broughton Band's debut album, but, even without doing so, it still stands as their second strongest release.
All the songs on Sing Brother Sing wallow in an experimental blues-rock style, extenuated to perfection by Broughton's resonant grumble and vocal staunchness.
The group's peculiar instrumental outputs give odd tracks such as "There's No Vibrations but Wait," "Momma's Reward," and the two parts of "Psychopath" progressive rock-type tendencies with a homemade wit, which would be the band's most daunting characteristic outside of Edgar Broughton's singing.
Although the Captain Beefheart comparisons are unavoidable, Sing Brother Sing's facets and odd instrumental avenues emit a unique distinctness.
The quaint but humorous English air that encircles "Officer Dan" and "Old Gopher" reflects Broughton's adept satirical approach, maybe without him even knowing it.
Held together with elements of jazz, rock, and blues, the music on Sing Brother Sing is captivating because of its raw integrity, and in its refusal to adhere to structure, formula, or to travel a beaten path
Side 1:
There's No Vibrations, But Wait! (4:10)

LABELS: EXCELLENT+
Clean, bright and unmarked labels with just a few spidery spindle traces
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces retain their original deep, glossy sheen
Some wispy hairlines are visible under bright light but theses have no audible significance
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Superb full, deep, rich and warm sound and my play-check at volume found little to fault.
No scratches, loud clicks or pops, nothing but an odd one-off light background tick (barely worth a mention)
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
A beautifully preserved example.
The outer laminated surfaces have a deep glass-like glossy sheen and the inner surfaces clean.
The edges are sharp and all spine text is clear and bold
LYRIC INSERT: EXCELLENT
Apart from a few light marks (fingerprints) and soft creases the insert is good and solid and undamaged
