FACTORY SEALED
1970 Original British Prog/Folk Obscurity
ACCOLADE
...USA - LIME GREEN CAPITOL - ST 597
STILL FACTORY SEALED, HARD TO FIND 1970 ORIGINAL UK PROGRESSIVE ... the second and last ACCOLADE album featuring unique pastoral progressive blends... first pressing on the old lime green Capitol label which was in print only some 18 months ... Accolade was only a one shot pressing, so copies are hard to find....
Accolade were one of those short-lived late-'60s / early-'70s English bands that attempted to expand musical boundaries, completely eschewing electric instruments to mix traditional English folk with progressive rock influences. They recorded two albums and one single before going their separate ways.In one respect the band (bassist Eden Abba, woodwind player Brian Cresswell, singer / guitarist Gordon Giltrap, drummer Ian Hoyle and guitarist Don Partridge) was quite different from many of their contemporaries - namely they were brimming with talent.
Unfortunately, Accolade's pastoral progressive stylings guaranteed instant obscurity in the United States. In fact, it's somewhat of a mystery how they even got their 1968 debut released by Capitol (a label hardly renown for its willingness to take a chance on cutting edge sounds). Produced by Don Paul, 1969's cleverly-titled "Accolade" is hard to accurately describe. Recorded with former Artwoods bassist Malcolm Pool replacing Eden Abba, the collection exhibits a smooth and calming sound throughout. Largely acoustic (though you don't really realize it), material such as "Maiden Flight Eliza" (featuring some weird West Coast-styled harmonies ), "Prelude To a Dawn", the bluesy "Nature Boy", the surprisingly hard rocking "Gospel Song" and "Never Ending Solitude" wasn't exactly mainstream rock, nor did it fall under the banner of Fairport Convention-styled English folk.
Imagine well crafted progressive with complex instrumentations with the addition of a touch of English folk and you'll get a feel for the LP. While that doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement, the result is actually a fascinating album.
