ALBUM REVIEW
1st album by excellent British Prog band Alan Bown named after its founder and leader – trumpeter Alan Bown. One of the earliest Brass-Rock bands in the country, they incorporated Prog with Brass arrangements, creating a unique sound but not quite Jazz-Rock Fusion yet. The band also included lead singer Robert Palmer (one of the great voices of British Rock), keyboardist Jeff Bannister, saxophonist John Helliwell, guitarist Tony Catchpole, bassist Stan Haldane and drummer Vic Sweeney and together they were a formidable septet indeed. The album was produced by Mel Collins of King Crimson fame. An absolute beauty, which lost nothing of its charm with time! (Jazzis - Rate Your Music)
