Charge – Charge (1973) (@256)

19 Jun 2010

(Info from sleeve)

Charge’s private pressed LP of 1973 is virtually cliched in their self tormenting guitar excess and psycho-hippie lyricism, lunatic heavy-rock. Occasional Hendrix-isms soon fall to the experimental idiosyncrasies.

Line-up:
- Smiley De Jones / percussion
- Ric Grech / violin, gtr, bs
- Ian Green / keyboards
- Rosetta Hightower / vocals
- Neil Hubbard / guitar
- Godfrey McLean / drums
- Alan Spenner / bass
- Lee van der Bilt / vocals, percussion
- Mike Woods / guitar

Track List:
01. Glory Boy – 4:04
02. To My Friends – 5:09
03. Rock My Soul – 3:48
04. Child Of Nations – 17:09

(Review from amazon) The title A’s and B’s sounds like a report card but in fact refers to all the singles released by the stellar English band Family between 1969 and 1973. Many of these tracks are significant for their relation to the state of the band and to the music industry of that time,

(Review from progarchives.com) This album is absolutely essential. Why? Because it includes the unbelievably magnificent “The weaver’s answer”. This song is one of those masterpieces which comes along only when the planets are correctly aligned and a flash of inspiration is sent from the heavens. The song is perfect in lyric, melody and performance. It

Request of Panka & John. Thanks to Plastic Geordie for the contribution. Sorry I forgot to post. (Review from Patrick Little) In the winter of 1973/1974, only months after the dissolution of Family, Chapman/Whitney completed a duo album called Streetwalkers. Basically this was an informal exercise by the pair to stretch their musical wings. They

(Review from progarchives.com) Family played very original and wayward progressive rock featuring the distinctive vocals from Roger Chapman. The line-up on this album (recordings from 68-69) is Roger Chapman (vocals, saxophone, harmonica and percussion), Rick Grech (bass, violin, cello and vocals), Jim King (saxophones, harmonica, vocals, tin-whistle and piano), Rob Townsend (drums and percussion) and

(Review from amazon.com, progarchives.com) Following the (yet again) departure of Mason, Traffic released a new studio album. “Low Spark of the High Heeled Boys” was a big change from thequiet, largely acoustic flavour of Traffic’s reunion album “John Barleycorn Must Die”. Although the gentle opening track,”Hidden Treasure”, and the meandering, mellow closer, “Rainmaker”, were in

(Review from progarchives.com, wikipedia) Steve Winwood was still contracted to Island for 2 more albums, and the following year, he started work on a solo album, calling in Wood and Capaldi to assist. The Traffic name was quickly resurrected, and the album “John Barleycorn Must Die” released. For many, this is Traffic’s best album. While

(Info from wikipedia, keno.org) Blind Faith’s beginnings date to mid-1968, with the breakup of Cream. Rock’s original supergroup had become a financial powerhouse, selling millions of records within a few years and raising the group’s (and each member’s) repertoire to international popularity. Despite that success, the band was crumbling from within due to frequent animosity

(Review from amazon) Sometimes you need to go back and experience what was to wonder what could have been. No other debut album from a band can match the force of this one from Family, and for more than 30 years, this work has remained a testimony to what rock music should be about: creative,
