Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end.

We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable.

1973 LONDON UNDERGROUND
-
HARD ROCK HAIRY FREAKS
- THE EDGAR BROUGHTON BAND
- ..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
- SPAIN - HARVEST RECORDS - J 062 94 260 (STEREO)
- RARE ... 50 years onward laminated SUPERIOR & UNIQUE cover art,
- front & back ... most likely you'll see never again, pretty much that scarce ...
"OORA" is difficult to define, because it ducks in and out of genres - yes, there are some full-tilt rockers on the album ('Hi-jack Boogie', 'Hurricane Man'), some beautiful melodic numbers like the sublime 'Green Lights', or 'Rock N' Roller', and some mystical mantras, such as 'Roccococooler', which is trippy without going overboard - more a stream of consciousness. But for all it's diversity.
"Oora" is a brilliant album for its sheer feel-good factor - it's a record for all seasons. What is this music? Well, it inspires you. It creates moods and feelings. This album evokes the listener a wide range of emotions, from the punch-the-air power chords of 'Things On My Mind' (which should be guaranteed to have you singing along by the end), to the unimaginable, quiet understatement of 'Green Lights'.
There's something for everyone here - and if you have a wide taste in music, then you should love it. Although the music speaks for itself and works equally well as a time capsule of the London underground 70's creativity. Has the use of backed-effects to create added atmosphere reminiscent of Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side Of The Moon', yeah, the opus avantra.
Yet, despite the occasionally sorrowful lyrics (for anyone who has ever lost anyone,) 'Rock N' Roller' provides "Dark nights, golden lights/Hand in hand together/Sweet breath, fetid death/Nothing lasts forever", with unbearable poignancy), the album has a great sense of humour running through it and underpinning many of the songs deriding the hippie culture and its inertia which actually gave the Broughtons their break ("You tried to change the world, but you got up far too late/They'd all gone back to bed before you reached the garden gate" - 'Oh! You Crazy Boy'), and blending social comment - slum clearances sung about on 'Eviction' and the dolly-bird models of the day, on 'Pretty'.
So why should you buy this album? Quirky and original, you'll never hear anything quite like this on one LP. Distinctly English, without being gleeful, an appeal universal. "OORA" and the band who made it have been criminally underrated for the past three decades "pardon?"
