CLEAN TOP COPY!

...Original M- 1971 first pressing of the second ZEPHYR album, a great hippie band from Colorado that had a tight sound, comprised with a top skilled guitarist (so powerful that Deep Purple spotted him and threw mega-bucks his way to join them) as well as a singer who had the range and style of a Janis Joplin "plus" ...

Zephyr is a hard band to describe because each of their 3 studio albums is almost entirely different from the previous one. It is hard to talk about this band without using superlatives so be warned that this is a biased review.
If You are someone who’s never heard this album before, and lucky enough to win it, advise is to use headphones to listen to it -- to shut out the outside world, turn off the lights and crank the volume up a notch past normal because when Candy Givens starts wailing on the harp and singin’ “goin’ back to Colorado” You’re gonna measure how alive you are by how high the goosebumps are on your arms. If you’re not a fan of Cindy’s by the end of the first cut than you’re dangerously close to being soulless. No kidding….this album is so far ahead of it’s time that it’s no wonder they didn’t stay together long.

Back in the early 70's Janis Joplin was thee big deal, getting all the press and Candy could sing just as well. Not only could she wail better than Janis, but she had twice the range and control. Janis had one style, Candy has a different style with each tune.The other part of this band that no other band had to match was the guitar-fire in Tommy Bolin. One of his showstopper tunes finishes out the first side of this album and the guitar playing on that one cut equals anything else produced during the 70’s. The boy had fingers, imagination and style. An old jazz guitar teacher once noted that he could teach you the technique of Tommy Bolin, but the playing comes from deep in the soul, and could not be taught. The album ends with a cut called, “At This Very Moment”. A beautiful tune with wonderful lyrics that will keep you from forgetting that there’s a whole world out there that you cannot see from where you are standing.
Candy and Tommy have both passed on, way before their time, but while they were here they made some awesome music that needs to be passed on so that they’re never forgotten.

The pick that clicks: "See My People Come Together"; a 6 minute tension packed rush of prime ZEPHYR
