A
superb slice of the swinging seventies as seen through the eyes of one
contender to the throne...Rod St James. Originally released on the small
budget label Paula (cat numberLPS 2218) in 1972, this obscure
psych/soul/folk rock album is a superb example of years gone by and lost
in aging summer sands with flairs and sunglasses to match. Very little
is known about Rod..information is thin on the ground but those who have
heard this album always rate it extremely highly. Contains some great
heavy guitar work (wailing fuzz and wha -wha), funky percussion, Trippy
organ, with laid back cool phased hippie vocals. The second half of the
album showcasing a more “folky” feel. One of the more mainstream
sounding albums to be released on Radioactive but if you’re after a
sound that sums up an era ..this is the album ! ! ! Think Donovan meets
James Taylor. (source)
