Title: Spirit Of John Morgan - self-titled (Akarma)
Review: Band's first effort - recorded in 1969, but not released until two years after. Until fairly recent, I've never even heard of this lesser-known British psych band. Tunes here that make this CD reissue a keeper are their Graham Bond cover "I Want You", the stunning "Orpheus And None For Ye", "The Yodel", "Yorkshire Blues", "The Floating Opera Show" and the somewhat familiar-sounding "Ride On". Line-up: John Morgan - keyboards & vocals, John Russel - harpsichord, piano, organ & vocals, Don Whitaker - guitar & vocals, Phil Curtis - bass and Mick Walker - drums. Recommended for fans of the Groundhogs, Armageddon, Jeff Beck and maybe Cactus.
