The debut album from this L.A. band and the last of my Progressive records. This is the only one of their records that could be called Progressive as they played more Soft Rock, or Yacht Rock as it is called today, on later records. This was bought in early ’75 and so is over 50 years old. The cover is in bad shape and the record has been played a lot but the sound is still loud and clear with no skips. The first song “Nice, Nice, Very Nice” is a poem by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. the band set to music. That song and “Make Us All Aware”, Drink Of Water” and “Mama Frog”, in which lines from Alice In Wonderland are recited, are the most Progressive tracks on the record. “Holding On To Yesterday”, a Soft Rock, song made it to number 17 in the American Top 40 in 1975. The opening piano lines of “Lover Arrive” sound just like Genesis’s “The Lamia” from The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway released just months before.
