Harmony Revival - S/T (1974)

From 1974, and thus squarely within the heyday of lapels and harmonies and good humour, comes Harmony Revival. Despite the typical reliance on cover versions, there's some solid musicianship on diplay here, and a general air of proficiency that suggests a band with actual ambition (despite the cover shot set against a swampy riverside). It obviously it wasn't to be, unless my researches have failed to spot a breakout, but here's a lovely middle-ground testament to the optimistic enterprise I set out to record. To whit, I present the Harmony Revival revival.
