DESCRIPTION......UK LP ORIGINAL...SUPERBLY MELODIC UK  'WEST COAST' JANGLELY GUITAR PSYCH POWER POP BAND...TOTALLY OVERLOOKED BAND IN MY VIEW
 
 
 The album’s title track is an atmospheric instrumental that sounds like the whole of David Crosby’s solo work mixed down to four minutes. Part of the great UK pub rock movement with the US styled jangle, like Help Yourself, Eggs Over Easy, Bees Make Honey, Brinsley Schwarz etc
 
Starry Eyed And Laughing were either 15 years ahead
 of their time or 10 years too late.
 Either way, in 1974 they were voted the Rickenbacker
 twangers most likely to succeed. Even before they signed to CBS, one paper observed:
     ‘By the end of '74 the group will be set fair. They'll emerge
     fully in '75 - how's that for crystal-gazing?’
The critic concerned echoed the hopes of most pop pundits.
Starry Eyed were well-respected, loved even.
They wrote their own songs - the sort you felt you'd known
 all your life - and played as if they'd just emerged from the
 grooves of The Byrds' Fifth Dimension.
Named after the first line of the last verse of Dylan's
 Chimes Of Freedom, the quartet released a few singles and two exceptional albums:
 
TONY POOLE - vocals, 12-string electric & acoustic guitars. organ, synthesizer
 
ROSS McGEENEY - vocals, 6-string electric & acoustic guitars
 
IAIN WHITMORE - vocals, bass guitar, pecussion
 
MIKE WACKFORD - drums, percussion, congas, glockenspiel
