Right - "Night Birds" by Shakatak. UK: 1982.
British Jazzfunk. Some might think it a bit cheesy, but it is technically very well-played and sung, positive music.
Love the keyboard improvs, and the clean Yamaha SG-2000 sound.

Carlos Santana played the SG-2000 for a few years, and it must be regarded now as a legendary guitar of classic status. Very heavy, though. I had an SG-1000, but can't play anything even yet.
Keyboards, including the in vogue Oberheim/Prophet/ARP synthesisers, - Bill Sharpe & Nigel Wright
Left - "Quatermass" by Quatermass
circa 1969. I heard this English group in concert on BBC Radio 1 and liked the heavy Hammond organ sound - and....31-person string section - no, really.... on some tracks. Weird, but interesting find in the days of progressive rock.
Great, unforgettable cover design by the renowned HIPGNOSIS.
Music recorded at Abbey Road Studios.
Saw him a generation ago (1980) at the long-gone, legendary Glasgow Apollo. Charismatic star at a perfect venue.
Unbelievably, he died in 1981.

This from the fine CD remaster/expand with informative booklet, but the original vinyl (now passed on to one of our offspring) had 99% of this image on the rear.
Released here in 1968 when rock music was peaking in creativity. Love shared the Elektra label at the time with The Doors who eventually eclipsed Arthur Lee's bands in output and popularity. However, those who recall - and newcomers who are still being amazed by this creation - know there will always be a place for "Forever Changes" when great music
recordings are discussed. Arthur Lee is the guy being surreal with the broken jug. Bryan MacLean is second from the left. He wrote "Alone again or" and "Old man".
Buy this album if you don't own it, and support (some) of the people. or their families, who created and got it out to us. Someone in your circle will LoVE it, even if you don't.
