NOT the debut SM album, but something else
4
This is a strange CD with no info on it as to where the tracks came from. Wyatt is definitely the singer, and some of the songs are off of the first two classic SM albums, but they are radically different versions, without the huge distortion and effects SM fans know and love. As a fan I like this, but if you are new to the group, order the first two albums on 1 CD, not this.

If you are a fan, this is still worth getting.

Early demos cashed in

The previous reviewer notes that this CD features no info as to origins of this recording. It is some demos produced by Georgio Gomelsky in early 1967 while Daevid Allen was in the band, some of the only Softs recordings to feature him. After the band got somewhat popular with "Third" and Gong started to take off, Gomelsky first issued them in 1971 as a cash-in, and, much like The Beatles Tony Sheridan tapes, they've been repackaged over and over again. If you are a fan, they are interesting. "That's How Much I Need You Now" could stand on its own (just piano & plaintive Wyatt vocal) but the rest pale in comparison to future recordings. Which you probably should expect.

Young & Fine

Oh to be young - the boys in the band were capable of spinning tales! There emotions flowing at full speed, they were capable of creating a very fine rythm that can drive you through the whole LP. By track #3 they're rocking along. If you haven't caught their trip by then, you're locked up. Very nice listened to in the dark. As I said, there are tales to be told here.
G Gomelsky, R Wyatt, Archie Leggat, Daevid Allen and Kevin Ayers put it together. A very fine piece of psycho-jazz by some fine English fellows. In my mind, it rivals "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" by PF. Definetly worth a listen. If your not careful, you might catch yourself ... Obviously Affected by SM
