Description

TYMEPIECE (12" 33rpm Vinyl LP) 'Sweet Release' ~~~~~ Here's your opportunity to own one of the rarest and most sought after progressive rock records in Australia! This album ranks in scarcity with Kahvas Jute, and this particular copy is an even rarer promo/sample/radio copy as indicated by the appropriate sticker on the label. Low opening bid for this one! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tymepiece grew out of legendary Aussie 60s band, The Black Diamonds, a raucous garage / punk combo. ~~~~~~~~~~ Tymepiece's ultra-rare debut album, Sweet Release (February 1971), is "a diverse range of moods and styles, from psychedelic pop ‘Why?’, folk ‘Reflections’ and country ‘Sweet Release’ to R&B ‘I Love, You Love’ and the pulsating, eight-minute heavy progressive blues ‘Shake Off’."(Ian McFarlane). 'Shake Off' is an incredible eight minutes of rumbling bass, pounding drums, wildly demented fuzzed-out blues riffing, wailing harp and heavy, pulsating organ soloing. (Vicious Sloth). ‘Why?’, the opening track, along with ‘Nuts’, the album's best cut, represents the hard psychedelic strand on this ambitious, wide-ranging album (Borderline Books) ~~~~~~~~~~ The album is a fine example of early seventies 'head' music. After such an astonishing debut album Tymepiece should have progressed to the next level, but inexplicably broke up before the year was out. All that remains are a few choice tracks, an albums worth of listening pleasure and the memory of a great band.
