BRIAN AUGER & THE TRINITY ‘BEFOUR’ ORIGINAL 1970 RCA VINYL LP IN LAMINATED SLEEVE
Sleeve Condition: Ex, just a hint of ringwear, free from stickers, writing, defect or damage.
Record Condition: Ex+, one, small handling mark on Side 2 which in no way affects play is the only thing preventing a Near Mint grade. Record plays flawlessly.
Brian Auger and his band outdo themselves on this extraordinary album, which boasts playing that is both passionate and of virtuoso calibre, and encompasses just the right repertory.
From the opening of the soaring rendition of "I Wanna Take You Higher" through the jazzy interpretation of Gabriel Fauré's Pavane, the Albinoni-based Adagio per Archi e Organo, the impassioned rendition of Traffic's "No Time to Live" (sung by lead guitarist Gary Boyle), and the smooth interpretation of Herbie Hancock's "Maiden Voyage" (featuring some elegant lead playing by Boyle before Auger's organ moves into the foreground), Befour delivers superb musicianship, crossing the lines between jazz and rock with touches of soul and even some lingering traces of psychedelia.
The one fully experimental track, "Listen Here," which was cut in a single take of nine minutes and 22 seconds, is a hard, pounding piece driven by Boyle's jagged lead guitar and showing off the band augmented by three additional drummers (Mickey Waller, Barry Reeves, and Colin Allen) and an extra bassist (Roger Sutton) -- it reminds one somewhat of the kinds of experiments that the Nice sometimes attempted a lot less successfully. "Just You and Me" is a worthy finale to the original album, a hard-rocking showcase for each of the players.
A masterful album!
