-National Head Band - Albert 1 - 1971 (2008 Second Harvest 429)-Alice
Была в Британии краткоживущая команда The Business. Но дела не шли ... Переименовавшись в указанный аутфит, ребятам удалось подписать контракт с лейблом Уорнер Браз. Затем на усиление пришел Ли Керслейк. Помимо разных гитар, музыканты широко используют орган, фоно, а также муги. По большей части это не очень тяжелый, но активный хард-рок. Некоторые вещи это явный протопрог. На Юрай Хип похоже не очень, хотя местами имеются схожие нотки. Есть и ассоциации с Вишбон Эш. 9 треков - 45 минут. Можно считать альбом относительно удачным. После ухода Керслейка команда сразу развалилась. Было переиздание на сиди. И не одно ... Recommended!

October 2020 REM GENRE "Progressive Rock" [CUETools log; Date: 1/24/2024 9:22:40 PM; Version: 2.1.5] foobar2000 2.0 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1 Singer/guitarist Neil Ford, singer/multi-instrumentalist Dave Paull, keyboardist Jan Schelhaas, and drummer John Skorsky started their musical collaborationn under the name The Business. Supporting the Liverpool-based comedy group The Scaffold saw them start to attract some regional attention. Supporting Liverpool Scene front man Mike Hart on his 1969 debut album "Mike Hart Bleeds" attracted more attention and eventually saw Warner Brothers knocking at their door. The record label signed them to a recording contract that included a requirement for the band to add a second drummer to the line-up. Former Gods and Toe Fat drummer Lee Kerslake was promptly recruited. Ironically, original drummer Skorsky subsequently quit, leaving the band back where they started, recording their debut with one drummer. The label also demanded a name change - hence the switch to "The National Head Band." Yes, I'm guessing it was a decision that ensured commercial radio would never come near the band.
Teamed with ELP and Yes-producer Eddie Offord, 1971's "Albert 1" is a weird collection. I'll admit I really like the album, but it's one of those releases where the sum total is more than the nine individual songs. That's not to say there aren't some strong compositions. The opener 'Got No Time' was taunt, keyboard powered rocker. 'Ilsington Farm' was worth hearing for Schelhaas' harmonium work, and 'Try To Reach You' was a country-rocker for people who don't like country-rock. It's hard to articulate my criticisms of the band, but it may have something to do with the fact they never seemed to show their true selves. Each member appeared to have a different musical niche that they trotted out with the rest of the band serving as back-ups. Kind of a Beatles "White Album" feeling. Judging by their compositions, Ford and Kerslake where the band's rock proponents. Paull seemed to embrace country and folk influences, while Schelhaas was responsible for the album's more experimental and progressive leanings. In spite of those differences, all four were decent singers and capable of penning catchy and commercial material, Their harmonizing was first rate. Check out the performance on 'Too Much Country Water.' With the right support, they could have been stars. (Always liked Ginny Gillam's Victorian-influenced cover art.) Unfortunately what came next was like something from the film Spinal Tap. Warner Brothers pushed the band out on a number of support tours. While exposure for a new band is a good thing, having them open for mismatched acts; in this case groups as unsuited as George Clinton and Funkadelic (a May 1971 performance at London's Dagenham Roundhouse), blues-master Alexis Korner, The Pink Fairies, or hardcore progressive bands like Curved Air and Quintessence may not have been the best marketing decision the company ever made. For come reason Warner Brothers never bothered to release a single. Adding to their problems, pressing flaws (a skip in one of the tracks), plagued the album's release. The final blow came when drummer Kerslake agreed to join Uriah Heep. By the end of the year the band had called it quits. Bass, Acoustic Guitar, Synthesizer [Moog], Vocals – Dave Paull
