STEAMHAMMER
‘MK 2’
Original 1969 1st Issue UK Pressed Stereo Lp Featuring ‘Steamhammer’ Performing The Folllowing Ten Tracks:
The second version of the British combo Steamhammer
released its first LP utilizing the talents of Steve
Davy (bass), Martin Pugh (guitars), and Kieran White
(vocals/guitar/harmonica/Jew's harp) from the original
band as well as new recruits Steve Jolliffe
(woodwind/brass/harpsichord/vocals) and Mick Bradley
(drums). It was the blues that initially drove the combo
on its debut long-player, Reflection (1969), likewise
known as Junior's Wailing. This lineup adds more
exploratory and intricate melodies, courtesy of the
multi-instrumental talents and sonic sculpting of future
Tangerine Dream member Jolliffe. While this version of
the band would not remain past this album, its unique
fusion would arguably peak on Mountains (1970), the
follow-up to MK II (1969). There are definite shapes of
things to come throughout this effort, thanks to the
aggressive interaction of the new recruits. They
immediately step up to the plate, providing a variety of
interesting melodic and instrumental textures. These
range from the full-speed gallop of Jolliffe's "Johnny
Carl Morton" or the Baroque waltz "Turn Around" — both
of which are punctuated by some prominent harpsichord
interjections reminiscent of other U.K. progressive
groups such as Family and Blossom Toes.
