Reissue of the British progressive rock act's sole album, released in 1971, features 12 tracks, including five live bonus tracks also recorded in 1971, 'Give A Little Love', 'Holy Padlock', 'More Rain', 'Concerto For Bedsprings' & 'Love You'. Progressive.

Reviewer: M. Harris (BRIGHTON, EAST SUSSEX United Kingdom) This, like the preceeding album when they were called Web was part of the trilogy of first (and last) releases on a label called Greenwich (the others were by 'open road' and 'day of pheonix'(possibly in my own opinion my favourite album of all time-find it you won't regret it!) they are all (like Web) incredibly rare and so hats off to the people that have reissued on c.d. Samurai is a prime slice of early seventies prog-rock, lengthy tracks with lots of time changes and incredible instrumental solos. The brass arrangements are top notch (must be ex-jazzers!) and well executed. Standout has to be 'maudie james' with great lyrics and keyboards from Dave Lawson. The album is one of those that i return to over and over again, finding something new each time. A pity that when Lawson joined Greenslade (his songs were always the stand outs) he seemed to give way to Dave Greenslade's compositions too much. Hence why there albums were pretty lacklustre. Any Samurai (and Web) are the ones to check out. Save a fortune by not getting the vinyl!!!
