The self titled third album is no less challenging,though a bit more accessible. "Evening Over Rooftops'" is a masterpiece.
I have a special place in my heart for the fourth album,"Inside Out." It came at a crucial time in Britain and strikes me as a kind of working class manifesto. Word has it John Lennon overheard the sessions for "Homes Fit for Heroes" and expressed his admiration to the group.
To avoid being long winded i won't detail their final Harvest LP"Oora" though it too is quite good.
In general,The Edgar Broughton Band were a seriously ballsy bunch -they have seemed of their time but with their commitment and political fearlessness, we could use them now more than ever. Their catalog is easily obtainable and highly recommended.
