This is the first official re-release on vinyl under licensed courtesy
of BMG Rights Management, UK, remastered from an original master copy
out of the vaults of BMG, originally released in 1972 on Bronze Records.
Co-founder of Colosseum in 1968 with Jon Hiseman, he knew from his Jazz
Club years as drummer for Georgie Fame, Dick ran through this group`s
hectic recording and touring schedule for over 3 years until November
1971, when it disbanded. In his late ‘30`s’ at that time, on top of his
musical shape, he moved on to start recording on his first solo project,
with material left over from Colosseum days (written by D. H-S., Clem
Clempson and Jon Hisemann) and new material jointly composed with well
known lyricist Pete Brown. He recruited the help of Colosseum mates,
Hiseman, keyboardist Dave Greenslade and vocalist/bass player Mark
Clarke, plus the brilliant ex-Elton John group Caleb Quaye ( Hookfoot)
on guitars and Rob Tait (ARC, Battered Ornaments) on drums; old pal
G.Bond is featured providing remarkable moog work on “Pirate’s Dream”,
Funky organ on “Moses in the Bullrushourses” and sharing piano duties
with Gordon Beck (G.B.Trio, Nucleus) on “What the Morning Was After”;
Paul Williams (Juicy Lucy) gets the lion share of vocal duties, and
Chris Farlowe and Chris Spedding (Nucleus, Battered Ornaments) have
respectively a sole vocal and a guitar spot on “Pirate’s Dream”. The
album track by track: Side one starts with 'Future Song' the track that
really rises above the other tracks here. The guitar, vocals (by Mark
Carke) and sax are great on this one. Killer sax 2 minutes during an
excellent instrumental interlude. H-S. sounds slightly
eastern-influenced on his outstanding sax lines.Such an uplifting track
with it`s repetitive riff and hard, driving sound! Next is 'Crabs',
starting off in a mellow way with Greenslade`s piano and reserved vocals
as the sax joins in followed by guitar and drums as it builds.
Irresistable! Great vocals by Paul Williams. One could easily imagine
both tracks on a Colosseum album.'Moses In The Bullrushourses' is
uptempo, owing just as much to jazz, blues and hard rock. Great groove!
Lots of organ here to send shivers down your spine and perfect guitar
playing. 'What The Morning Was After' opens with some sax excursions as
the drums help out. Acoustic guitar by Quaye and powerful vocals by Paul
Williams take over as the piano joins in. Our second favourite tune on
here after the opener. A folky song really until it picks up half-way
through. Side 2 opens with 11 minutes “Pirate’s Dream”, with Farlowe on
vocals and Spedding`s initial rock blues riff, but soon evolving to a
complex multi parted composition in the best spirit of Valentyne Suite,
driven by Hiseman multi faceted drumming. D.H-S. twin saxes soar on a
calmer mid section with Spedding doubling the licks and the bass
grumbling relentlessly behind; it slowly gains speed with moog, sax
& vocalizations duelling and answering each others with dazzling,
demanding and inspired phrasings on top a thundering rhythm section;
after the lyrics resume it evolves into a majestic, grandiose finale. A
bluesy clean guitar lick opens “Same old Thing”, a swinging, calm
heavily modulated twisted Blues, with a punchy rhythm section, a soulful
Williams on vocal, Quaye delivering an inspired sparkling solo and
D.H-S. sensitive fat sax enhanced with some double tracking on the solo
part. A great ending to a great album. Album comes with the reproduction
of original gatefold cover sleeve, add. coversized insert with
bandstory, lyrics and photos. A highlight! Highly recommended! (Long
