COSMR 034LP
|
The summer of soul collides with the acid rock revolution in this 1969 opus originally licensed by MCA sub label UNI (roster of talented artists such as Strawberry Alarm Clock, Hugh Masekela and Fever Tree). The sole album by US power trio Fields is a majestic blues rock effort, arranged by cultish producer Gene Page (Blacula soundtrack, Aretha Franklin, Elton John, the Whispers, Gladys Knight, etc.). The short-lived Los Angeles band was clearly influenced by the likes of Cream and Vanilla Fudge and featured backing vocals from Motown/Northern Soul heroine Brenda Holloway, a clear sign of their eccentric vision.

Gatefold LP version. This U.S. power trio's sole album appeared on both sides of the Atlantic in 1969, but sank without trace. Equally influenced by blues, soul and acid-rock, it's an enjoyable mixture of snappy hard rock songs and the lengthy "Love Is The Word" suite, which occupied a whole side of the original LP. Featuring backing vocals from Northern Soul legend Brenda Holloway and production by Merry-Go-Round guitarist Bill Rinehart, it's a must for all fans of bluesy psychedelic rock.
