3 stars Auger released this double album back in 1969 as a four piece. Julie sings and plays acoustic guitar while Auger is prominent with the piano and organ. Bass and drums round out the lineup although the bass player also adds acoustic guitar. There's a lot of variety on here which I don't like but that's just the start of the things that make this a 3 star record for me. I do like Brian Auger and am a big fan of his "Befour" album which at least has electric guitar on it and hey Gary Boyle is playing it, and also Brian is the singer which I prefer. A couple of covers on here which was par for the time period and the "Light My Fire" one was a disappointment but I really like the FIFTH DIMENSION cover "Let The Sunshine In". But yeah a ton of variety like Gospel, Blues, Jazz, Folk and on and on. There are so many songs that I just don't like on here but that's my tastes. Pare this down to a single record then I'm on board. Props to the first song on this recording "Tropic Of Capricorn" where Auger shows why he's one of the most talented keyboardists out there. I connect with the next one "Czechoslovakia" as well and it's the one vocal track with Julie singing that I really like. It gets a little crazy too. Very much a hit and miss affair for me over the 75 minutes or so making it a 3 star record.
