In this month's Uncut magazine, there is a review of a reissued CD by someone called Colin Scot. It was recorded in 1971 and apparently features Gabriel, Collins, Wakeman, Fripp and Anderson (all under silly pseudonyms such as Dr Yes). They say it sounds like Tim Buckley.
Anyone know anything about thiis? |

I heard one track from it on a rather worn United Artists 2LP set called 'All Good Clean Fun'. It wasn't prog as I remember, just standard singer songwriter stuff, but whether the rest of the album's like that I couldn't say. The song I heard didn't sound so much like Tim Buckley but more like Elton John in his good early period. Again though, that was based on the one song I heard.The silly pseudonyms were probably due to the contractual difficulties that were rife in the 1970s where artists on different labels weren't allowed to mix in accordance with record company politics- one that I remember is Jimmy Page on a Roy Harper album 'Stormcock' where Page was called 'S.Flavius Mercurius'!

Hi there
Salmacis is right when he says the album isn't prog but it's a little gem of an album for sure. I saw Colin supporting KC in 1973 and he was excellent. Anyway, here's my review of the album over on my blog |
