Description:
Great Private Folk Rock Following Info From Acid Achives: Released in 1972 (same year as Hoi' Polloi), the "Crucible 2" LP is of substantial interest to any Hoi' Polloi fan. The reason for this can be found on side 2, where we are treated to three tracks by and with Charlie Bleak. The backing musicians include a couple of Hoi Polloi guys, and one of the tracks ("Never You Mind") features three core Hoi Polloi members. Even more interesting is the quality of Bleak's tracks, which can only be described as outstanding. The talent displayed on the Hoi' Polloi LP is in full evidence here; in fact it could be argued that these tracks are even better than what he has on the main album. The style is singer/songwriter and 70s folk with a strong melodic component, impressive chamber music arrangements, and Bleak's terrific Paul McCartney-like vocals. Although he would see some success with his solo LP (see below), it still seems puzzling that no big 70s label in LA sweeped Charlie Bleak up and put him in a studio next to Jackson Browne... because this is way beyond what you usually find on local college project albums. The only caveat is that "Crucible 2", like its sister albums, is pretty hard to find.I will only ship to Italy and Greece if the buyer pays International PRIORITY MAIL!!
