Little Free Rock - Little Free Rock (1969) 24-bit/96kHz
Psychedelic Rock | 1987 re-issue | Timeless TIME 722
Great UK underground heavy psych rock album from 1969 recorded by a trio from Lancashire. Well structured songs with fine melodies similar in places to Cream but with the odd swathe of mellotron lending an early progressive touch.
The best tracks being "Roman Summer Nights", "Lost Lonely", "Castle In The Sky", "Dream", "Tingle" and "Evil Woman". This group was a later version of Purple Haze who included ex-David John and The Mood guitarist Peter Illingworth. Much loved by collectors of UK underground music this album is well worth checking out. Maurizio Greco.
