Here's a record that underlines the wisdom of the adage, 'don't judge a book (or in this case, album) by its cover'! For Joe Prichard's sole musical offering boasts what is probably one of the most uninspired covers of all time (hand written political musings by Mr Prichard himself), yet lurking within is an album that's a heavy rock and prog delight. Very little is known about Joe Prichard or his sidekicks, except that the band, which hailed from Missouri, drew its inspiration from influences far and wide, resulting in each of the 5 tracks being very different in character, ranging from the power chords and staccato guitar breaks of the Jimmy Page variety, to the throaty sax of 12-bar blues specialists Climax as well as the dual guitars of Z Z Top. There's even a 9-minute jam a la Jethro Tull or Traffic with flute and sax giving a decidedly jazzy feel to proceedings This is another extremely rare record (only 500 copies were pressed on the private Kendall-Lee label in 1974). The sound is fine and the music just terrific. Another example of a band which, had it been plying its trade 30 years later, would now be giving many of the top groups of today a real run for their money.
