From a sellers private record collection.
I purchased this copy in Autumn 1970 following attending an “All Night Concert” at the Odeon Cinema Romford London on 25th September 1970. Featuring T2, Black Widow and Deep Purple. (T2 opened the concert with "In Circles" which was a very high benchmark!) This record is in an excellent to very good condition, with miniscule surface marks and no scratches. This copy is the variant with “T2” not being listed on the Label Face and plays perfectly. There is no hole distortion and minimal marking around the hole edges. The inner sleeve is in excellent condition. The outer laminated front sleeve is very good but has some very minor wear. The rear non laminated surface has some minor surface wear on its face reflecting its age of 51 years and is fully legible.
The tracks were recorded in early spring 1970 at Morgan Studios, Willesden, North West London. Produced by Peter Johnson & Mike Dunne, it was released on 31st July of that year.
This music is an amazing amalgam of the classic rock powerhouse trio essentials. The musicians, Keith Cross (Guitars, Keyboards, Harmony Vocals) Bernard Jinks (Bass, Harmony Vocals) and Peter Dunton (Drums, Lead Vocals) were all in the age group of 17 (Cross) to 19 when they signed with Decca acquiring a (then) enormous sum of £10,000 advance royalties secured by their successful manager John Morphew. The Album Cover was created by Artist Peter Thane, evoking the intensity and mystery of the music. The title (According to Dunton) meant “Everything will work out eventually”! Poor distribution unfortunately prohibited some fans from acquiring the record. Cross observed Decca were unsure of the content believing it to be "too raw”. T2 were essentially a live band, taking the audience on a musical rollercoaster of power and emotion. The album has stood the test of 51 years because of its remarkable music structure and subject matter. It is from all perspectives an extraordinary record.
Unfortunately, the aforementioned distribution problems and musical differences, terminated the original line-up. Cross departed to form “Sunburst” then “Cross & Ross” and Jinks followed soon after in frustration. However, various acetate tracks were recorded prior to the breakup & were released in 1997 entitled “Fantasy”. These demos tantalisingly gave a glimpse of what might have been.
Dunton continued with various line ups of T2 creating additional albums with exceptional guitarists and talented musicians. Although they bore the unmistakable stamp of Dunton’s writing prowess and creativity, they never quite matched the genius of “Boomland”.
