np greenslade bedside manners are extra (unsurprisingly LOL!)

I love greenslade!! - some of the best mellotron playing of the early seventies on their LPs and proof positive that progressive rock's more extreme, oft-called 'excessive' aspects (virtuosity, instrumental dexterity, lengthy numbers) can be merged with great, sometimes funky, songs and wry, insightful lyrical content


One of the first gigs I ever went to was Greenslade, Rare Bird and Bees Make Honey at the Roundhouse. I was 12 or 13 and loved the sound of the mellotron and Roger Dean's artwork so naturally I ending up having a couple of their records. It's Dave Lawson's singing and the occasional dips into over-cooked ELP territory that are a bit of a problem for me these days. Of that second tier of early-mid 70s prog bands I tend to lean more towards Gryphon and other largely instrumental bands of that era but the first three G/Slade albums all have their virtues that's for sure.

Are any of the solo records worth hearing?
