Description: Additional Information from InnerSleeve Product Description Personnel: John Lees (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Les Holroyd (vocals, acoustic guitar); Woolly Wolstenholme (vocals, keyboards); Mel Pritchard (drums, percussion). Audio Mixer: Paschal Byrne. Recording information: Chappell Studios, London; Strawberry Recording Studios (UK) Limited, Stockport, C. With Wolstenholme's keyboards pushed back in the mix, and strangely missing the harmonies that enriched their earlier work, Octoberon is something of a departure for the band. While Wolstenholme's stately "Ra" shows a dabbling in mysticism and the soaring sound of their previous work, most of the album is a strangely glum affair. John Lees adopts a pub rock sound in his compositions, although "May Day" manages to veer unexpectedly into a glorious choral and organ arrangement. "Polk Street Rag," despite its name, is a slick rocker about a sordid X-rated movie house in San Francisco. There's a black humor throughout, as in this brutally funny line from "Suicide?": "Heard a voice shouting 'Don't jump, please for God's sake let me move my car.'" Not up to the level of their best work, but worth a listen for fans. ~ Paul Collins About InnerSleeve We offer unbeatable prices, quick shipping times and a wide selection of vinyl.
