1970 Original PROGRESSIVE GEM
Gracious
\ USA - lime green Capitol - ST 602
Very rare 1970 US pressing that seldom turns up and was always 'rare' ... on the equally hard to find lime green Capitol label ...
A legendary captivating British band, GRACIOUS were formed around 1965/1966 in Esher,UK by guitarist Alan Cowderoy and drummer/vocalist Paul Davis (later he switched to guitars).The band had numerous line-up changes in the early years, before relying on a stable line-up just before the 70's. Signed by the legendary Vertigo label, GRACIOUS released their eponymous debut in 1970.Their album sounds very daring for a pre-70's band and it was a careful mix of classical piano/harpsichord/mellotron work with bluesy electric/smooth acoustic guitars and dreamy vovals, creating an album consisting generally of complicated structures. GRACIOUS sound if THE BEATLES could ever collaborate with KING CRIMSON and GENTLE GIANT, you'll get the image. Listen to the fantastic keyboard work, the complex bass lines and the colorful guitars of this work. This is an absolutely underrated creation of the early-70's and the uninitiated should spend some time listening to a band with a style far from the typical cliches of the time!
