SYMPHONIC PICTURES

This Bizarre, Alan Lorber-Produced Psychedelic Album Appeared Originally In 1969 On Boston Sound. Bobby Callendar Was An Incredibly Gifted Poet And Lyricist Whose Complex Texts Could Only Be Compared To Scott Walker; The Concepts Of A U.K. Artist Of Indian Heritage Post-Psychedelia Were Augmented By The Lush Arrangements Of Paul Harris And Bob Gallo. The Cast Of Musicians On This Album Included Some Of The Highest-Caliber Sidemen Of The Time, Most Notably Richard Davis, The Master Bassist Of Van Morrison's Astral Weeks Fame (Not To Mention A Jazz Musician In His Own Right), The Guitars Of Eric Gale And Hugh Mccracken, And The Astonishingly Subtle Burnard Purdie On Drums. The Album Is A Rich And Complex Exploration Of Eastern-Inspired Psychedelic Rock And Folk Centered On The Incredibly Complex Texts And Vocals Of Bobby Callendar. When Reading The Lyric Sheet, It Is Most Astonishing How Such Elaborate Poetic Evocations Were Somehow Made To Fit Popular Song Forms. Sure, At These Highly Conscious Times Of The Late '60s It Was Not Uncommon For Deeply Poetic, Socially Conscious, Or Hallucinogenic Themes To Appear In The Lyrics Of Pop Music, Yet This Is Album Is Absolutely Brilliant For Being One Of The Most Ostentatious Animations Of The Written Word, Yet Absolutely Vital And Musical Throughout. Fans Of Scott Walker's Solo Material, Colin Blundstone, And Duncan Browne Should Give This Album A Few Hours - If Not A Week - Of Their Attention.

Released On The “MGM” Label (se-4557).
