Tymepiece grew out of legendary Aussie 60s band, The Black Diamonds,
a raucous garage / punk combo.

Tymepiece's ultra-rare debut album, Sweet Release (February 1971), is "a diverse range of moods and styles, from psychedelic pop ‘Why?’, folk ‘Reflections’ and country ‘Sweet Release’ to R&B ‘I Love, You Love’ and the pulsating, eight-minute heavy progressive blues ‘Shake Off’."(Ian McFarlane). 'Shake Off' is an incredible eight minutes of rumbling bass, pounding drums, wildly demented fuzzed-out blues riffing, wailing harp and heavy, pulsating organ soloing. (Vicious Sloth). ‘Why?’, the opening track, along with ‘Nuts’, the album's best cut, represents the hard psychedelic strand on this ambitious, wide-ranging album (Borderline Books)

The album is a fine example of early seventies 'head' music. After such an astonishing debut album Tymepiece should have progressed to the next level, but inexplicably broke up before the year was out. All that remains are a few choice tracks, an albums worth of listening pleasure and the memory of a great band. (Vicious Sloth)

I'm selling off my collection of Aussie Rock from the 60's and 70's. All records have been kept in plastic covers since i've owned them and will be shipped with them on, in thick cardboard. Grading is done under a close fluro lamp and played to test for noise.
