SPOOKY TOOTH:It's All About (Pink Island ILPS-9080 UK 1968)Rare UK original "pink eye Island" of sublime 1st LP…

The very 1st album by superb British Rock band Spooky Tooth,

which comprised of four British musicians: vocalist / pianist Mike

Harrison, guitarist Luther Grosvenor,bassist Greg Ridley,drummer

Mike Kellie and American vocalist / organist Gary Wright, who
lived in the UK at the time. Together they possessed an incredible
amount of talent, which turned then instantly into one of the best

Rock acts on the British Isles at the end of the 1960s.

Their material, mostly written by Wright, was a mixture of Rock,

Blues and proto-Prog with Psychedelic influences, performed with

a dense heavy sound dominated by Wright's organ, somewhere

between Procol Harum and Led Zeppelin. Grosvenor played some

fantastic guitar licks and the rhythm section was second to none

with Ridley's heavy but virtuosic pulsations and Kellie's spectacular

pyrotechnics.Together with Mike Harrison's incredible vocal abilities,

which combined the forces of everything from Robert Plant, via

Rod Stewart to Roger Chapman, the band had the ability to outshine

any if its contemporaries, and they certainly did a fantastic job on

their debut LP, which is an incredible blast of energy and ingenuity,

turning it into an instant classic. Although slightly patchy stylistically,

since the band was still searching for its own unique approach, the

variety of styles works well here and adds to the album's appeal.

This is definitely one of the strongest debut albums of Classic Rock

and a diamond in any serious record collection. Essential listening

experience!
