RENAISSANCE RARE ORIGINAL ELEKTRA WHITE LABEL 1969 PROMO EARLY PROGRESSIVE ROCK RELEASE -KEITH & JANE RELF!
Renaissance Review
by Bruce Eder
The original group's debut album was a then-groundbreaking meld of progressive rock with classical and jazz influences. The album is a little clunky by today's standards, and far druggier than the later group in its ambience (cofounders Keith Relf and Jim McCarty were the heavily psychedelic half of the final lineup of the Yardbirds, which made them anathema to Jimmy Page), but vocalist Jane Relf had a striking individual style, and the classical influence was unique for its time.
Daniel Drake All Music.com (Listener Review)
I think this album is fantastic. It was very ambitious for its time and the instrumentation is divine. If you resist the temptation to compare it to later works and listen as a stand-alone, this was progressive rock at its finest. The keyboards alone are enough to make me shiver with delight. I give it 5 stars.Renaissance (4) – Renaissance
