TOPS! ORIGINAL USA 1973 FIRST PRESS ..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
...Capability Brown...
"VOICE" ..|/\|...............................................|/\|.. USA - PASSPORT RECORDS -98004
Original 1973 pressing, a gatefold cover, the groups second and best LP... mixing of rock/progressive self produced material of decent to high quality ... all captivated in a striking designed sleeve, of the style no longer made.
Great album, although almost absolutely divided between sides - A side consists of bunch of song-crafted rock tunes with light prog overtones, mostly in vocal department, and in some guitar melodies. Even if not the highest desire for a progressive rock enthusiast, they're pleasurable to say the least: Can't say a single bad thing about these songs - they're attractive, well played, catchy, great in technique and even original in lyrics department. The only complaint addressing to these songs is the fact they're almost pale in comparison with a side-long suite on B side, thee unforgettable 'Circumstances'... and that's because, this is one of the best songs written in history of progressive rock. A multi-part composition, structurally it dares to travel paths GENTLE GIANT were exploring, but it never gets tedious or overbearing. The multiple vocal harmonies are the most beautiful heard in rock: they can stand arm should by shoulder with QUEEN's finest moments. Everything else is here: harpsichords, recorders, acoustic guitars processed with a Leslie rotary speaker, unexpected shifts and turns, furious guitar parts, even a bits of majestic Mellotron thrown in just to spice up things for a while. And, the most important, this is the piece of ultimate songwriting, not forced or stretched for a single second. If there ever was a song that can bring a tear on your eye just for the sake of its greatness, there's one. This is a monument to the joy of life, fulfilling and incredible.
