Once again i would like to ask those that still have such "treasures" tucked away,
to please consider sharing them the way these generous people have.
None of us are getting any younger and what good will any of your recordings be when you're DEAD!

PACIFIC DRIFT formed in the late 60s, comprised Barry Reynolds (guitar/vocals), Brian Shapman (keyboards/vocals), Graham Harrop (bass) and Lawrence Arendes aka Larry King (drums).
King, formerly of Liverpool’s Wimple Winch, founded this new quartet from the ashes of Sponge, a jazz rock unit that imploded when saxophonist Jack Lancaster left in 1968 to join Blodwyn Pig.
The quartet’s debut single, a version of Spirit’s ‘Water Woman’, was followed by a self-titled album in 1970.
However, although they appeared live at the requisite underground haunts and festivals, Pacific Drift were unable to sustain a career and split up by the end of 1970~ allmusic.com
BARRY REYNOLDS is a British guitar player, songwriter, composer and producer, best known for his long lasting collaboration with Marianne Faithfull.
Reynolds first emerged with the band Pacific Drift which recorded one album that was released in 1970.
Reynolds served as guitar player, one of the songwriters and lead vocalist for this short lived quartet from Manchester, England.
Feelin' Free the band's only album was released on Deram Nova in 1970. The album was reissued by Grapefruit Records on CD in 2010.~wikipedi
