The Dream Academy

Bill I am so glad to see that you are now accessorizing all of your albums.

You should call NBC and tell them you have an idea for reviving one of their old decorating show, this time specifically for audiophiles. They could call it "Queer Eye for the Stereo Guy."  :rofl:

Aardvark ~ self titled....1970


Quote
Heavy psychedelia or Progressive rock? It was hard for me to find this album, until then I only had one of their songs to listen to, titled "Copper Sunset". It's a very nice tune if you are interested in heavier sound. There are other great songs in this album, don't miss this one! Fun fact: They did not use a guitar in their songs. Originally, they became known mainly because Paul Kossof and Simon Kirke played in the band before leaving to form legendary band FREE. From then on, AARDVARK were mostly a studio act and by the time they recorded their only album, the line-up consisted of Stan Aldous (bass), Frank Clark (drums), Steve Milliner (keyboards, recorder, vibraphone) and Dave Skillin (vocals). Comparisons are not easy but one could probably say their music has the power of EMERSON, LAKE & POWELL mixed in with a little R&B à la PROCOL HARUM and early MOODY BLUES. Shades of GRYPHON, GREENSLADE and PINK FLOYD are also present.

Track listing

01.Copper Sunset
02.Very Nice Of You To Call
03.Many Things To Do
04.The Greencap
05.I Can't Stop
06.The Outing-Yes
07.Once Upon A Hill
08.Put That In Your Pipe And Smoke It

Just got this in the mail today. I heard a tune on Pandora from this, looked it up on Amazon, sho 'nuff a NC used book store selling it on vinyl for $2.27, new, sealed. Hmm. I've smelled this before... but what the hell?

Yup, it's brand new, sealed, perfect condition. Printed 2012 on 140g virgin vinyl says the label. So far so good. After a bath spin it up and listen. The vinyl is very quiet.  But the master sounds like mp3 128kbps.  :(  On the DOL label, out of Russia. My apologies to the Evans estate for not getting any royalties on my purchase.

But the music is awesome, some of the best Bill Evans I've heard. I highly recommend this record if you like Bill Evans. But seek out a legit CD or cough up for a genuine Verve pressing.
