For the very first time on vinyl a mandatory compilation with both rarities and unreleased tracks, showcasing their second line up! At the end of January 1971, lead vocalist Linda Hoyle and organist Lynton Naiff left Affinity. Instead of going separate ways, the other three members recruited vocalist Vivienne McAuliffe (Principal Edwards Magic Theatre) and ex-Tornados keyboardist Dave Watts. Reminiscent at times of Sandy Denny, Vivienne's voice was a natural addiction to the new incarnation of the band, focusing on a more folksy direction.

Reissue. The sole album by cultish British prog-blues combo Affinity. Originally released in 1970 on influential label Vertigo, their self-titled album is still one of the most original efforts of the England jazz-rock scene. Fronted by Linda Hoyle, a powerful vocalist who sounds like a cross between Carol King and Julie Driscoll, the line-up was completed by Mo Foster (bass), Mike Jupp (electric and 12-string guitars), Lynton Naiff (keyboards), and Grant Serpell (drums and percussion). Their eclectic mixture was truly compelling moving over a certain psychedelic feel, thanks also to the ubiquitous Hammond organ. A singular effort that made definitely history. Fully licensed. Gatefold; edition of 500.

2011 release. With the release of their 1970 debut, Affinity broke the British jazz-rock mold by combining the hauntingly powerful vocals of Linda Hoyle (lauded as the British Grace Slick) and the Hammond wizardry of Lynton Naiff (in the style of Brian Auger), with convincing elements of psych and blues. Featuring 8 rare bonus tracks from the period. Includes bonus CD of the entire double album.
