Track A: Five White Horses
Artist: Sun Dragon
Composer: James, Freeman
Producer: Derek Lawrence
Arranger: Brian Rogers
Track B: Look At The Sun
Artist:Sun Dragon
Composer: James Freeman
Producer:Derek Lawrence
Members: Rob Freeman, Ian McLintock
Sun Dragon was a group associated with producer Derek Lawrence, and their studio sides included accompaniment by Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord, and Ian Paice, in the time after the latter three had given up on Roundabout
Rob Freeman (guitar and vocals)and Ian McLintock (bass and vocals)never quite achieved rock stardom, but it wasn't for a lack of talent or effort, and their career together unwittingly serves as a superb example of the shifting tides of the British rock scene in the 1960s and early '70s.
Freeman and McLintock first worked together in the Others, an R&B combo from Southwest London whose lone single, a cover of Bo Diddley's "Oh Yeah," was a well crafted rave-up in the manner of the Rolling Stones and the Pretty Things.
, along with an unreleased follow-up, but by 1966 the Others had split and Freeman and McLintock had formed a new band, the more pop-oriented Sands. There was more than a bit of nascent psychedelia in Sands' music, especially their cover of the Bee Gees' "Mrs. Gillespie's Refrigerator" and "Listen to the Sky," an original that ends in a bizarre noise coda that quotes Holst's he Planets! After one single Sands fell apart, despite management by Brian Epstein, but Freeman and McLintock soldiered on with a new project, Sun Dragon, which scored an almost-hit with their cover of the Lemon Pipers' "Green Tambourine" in 1968 (with typical luck, their label's pressing plant went on strike as the single was starting to gain radio play, prematurely ending its run on the charts). Sun Dragon's music was more polished and calculatingly commercial than their earlier efforts, with polished production and a strong emphasis on covers, but the group's first and only album
