Fuzz Acid Flowers:
An excellent hard/blues album, with Jeff Simmons on one track. Most of the songs were written by the group and the vocals and guitar parts are especially interesting (Rude Attitude, I Apologize, Burnin' Hurt). Arthur Lee of Love and Chris Hillman of The Byrds get "special thanks" on the cover.
Hawks, Newman and Gallucci had all previously been in Don and the Goodtimes and later with Hauser in Touch. ~ (Stephane Rebeschini)

Tapestry of Delights: Steeleye Span were at the forefront of folk-rock in Britain during the seventies. They formed in 1969 when Ashley Hutchings, former bassist with Fairport Convention, who'd originally wanted to call the group Middlemarch Wait, met up with Tim Hart and Maddy Prior, a popular folk duo who'd recorded three albums and Gay and Terry Woods, who'd played in an electric folk band called Sweeney's Men. This line-up rehearsed in Wiltshire and recorded a debut album in London but then split up without gigging when it became apparent that the Woods were incompatible with the rest. The Woods joined Dr. Strangely Strange in May 1970 and later formed The Woods Band whose albums were put out on Polydor. Mike Warth tells me that their first album is a real folk-rock masterpiece. If there was friction in the band it isn't reflected in the quality of the music. Apparently the shared vocals of Gay Woods and Maddy Prior are astonishing and the selection of traditional material is of the highest quality.
Martin Carthy, a significant figure on the traditional folk circuit and fiddle player Peter Knight were drafted into the new line-up. This incarnation gigged extensively and recorded two albums. They enhanced their growing reputation as part of the burgeoning UK folk scene but didn't break through commercially. They lasted until November 1971 when Ashley Hutchings left to do session work before eventually forming Albion Country Band. Martin Carthy also returned to his solo career. These changes marked a major upheaval in their development with their producer and manager Sandy Robertson leaving too and Jo Lustig taking over their management.
Dreams Fantasies & Nightmares:
One of Brazil's top psychedelic acts in this era. They brilliantly fused progressive rock, jazz, and danceable rock 'n' roll with a healthy dose of good humour (e.g. with lyrics like "in Nepal everything is very cheap" and "I'm gonna plant carrots in your head"). This was one of the best Brazilian groups ever and equal to most groups anywhere!
Som Imaginário existed between 1970 - 1974; They also backed Milton Nascimento, Sueli Costa, Macal and other singers on some recordings and / or live shows. In 1998 there was talk of a possible reunion.
From ProgressiveRock : Phos was in fact the Greek band's fourth album, and represented a significant change in style from earlier releases. Original called Socrates Drank the Conium, the band's heavy psychedelic rock centered on the guitar work of John Spathas. Not that much had changed by their third album, On The Wings, which was their first to be internationally released. Some three years later, though, the original trio of Spathas plus drummer George Tourkogioris and bassist Anthony Trandalides, hooked up with Vangelis in his London studio to record Phos. Vangelis provided significant contribution to the album, as both keyboardist and producer to the Tourkogiorgis/Spathas compositions. The result is a unique album. The opener "Starvation" is a remake from their first album. Spathas' multi-tracked guitars are still primary, but Vangelis' trademark tones provide added color. "Queen of the Universe" and "The Bride" refreshingly hint at Greek folk music. "Killer" is heavier rock, while the complexities of "The Time of Pain" and "Mountains" are reminiscent of Gentle Giant. Only when the tempo slows, as on "A Day In Heaven", does the band miss the mark. Unfortunately this would be the only album from this lineup. Some yeas later Spathas and Tourkogiorgis would reunite for another round of albums. Vangelis would of course continue being Vangelis.

Tapestry of Delights:
This heavy rock band was formed by former Freedom vocalist Bobby Harrison in 1973. Moody, Gibson and Popple were all from the Northeast of England, but Solly like Harrison was a Londoner. The Northeast trio were all experienced session musicians and had also played on Harrison's 1970 solo album, Funkest.
Snafu, whose name came from an old RAF expression; Situation Normal - All Fucked Up, played a pretty repetitive form of heavy rock. Unless this is your scene - avoid!

Gibraltar:
Rare, but excellent example of early '70s French progressive rock replete with slabs of the dated Mellotron sound, proficient guitar. Their only release was self-titled, and the LP is a collector's item demanding large amounts of money. They have a couple of covers of Genesis and Yes songs on that one.
