RARE 1970 HARD PROGRESSIVE EDGED ROCK LIME CAPITOL RARITY Deciptive Lines USA - lime green CAPITOL RECORDS - ST 692 PROMO TOP COPY ...near impossible to find without shelf wear Here s that RARE MINT SURVIVOR Always been rare...here a Original 1970 first pressing by this obscure Texan-based rock outfit who later became known as Mother of Pearl.
For the most part the album s pretty typical early seventies progressive/hard rock with strong vocals, good guitar and quite a lot of woodwind, It may interest fans of the progressive/hard rock genre...
One notable collector recently advised this album sounds like it could have been the second LP by LEAFHOUND, stressing the vocalist is a deadringer for LEAFHOUND vocalist Peter French Like similar hard to find hardrock Lp s on the rare lime green Capitol label, like Bang , Head Over Heels , etc....
the lime green label was only in print some 18 months and obscure Lp s like PLUM NELLY were pressed only once.
As a result, especially with Plum Nelly, demand has spiraled the value to over three figures even as of a few years ago...
John E.
Earl Walker - lead guitar Ric Prince - lead vocalist Peter Harris - Bass Steve Ress - rhythm guitar and vocals Christopher Lloyd - drums PLUM NELLY opened for many famous acts such as Bo Diddley, BB King, Buddy Guy, Jimi Hendrix, The Kinks, Savoy Brown, John Mayall, Fleetwood Mac, Rod Stewart and The Faces, Joe Cocker, Dr.
John, Muddy Waters, Terry Reid and notibly at Carnegie Hall with The James Gang.
Featuring a series of extended tracks only one out of six clocks in under four minutes , band originals such as Deception and Carry On are accessible rockers, sporting occasional progressive touches.
Lead singer Ric Prince has a decent voice Carry On that fits in well with Earl Walker s chunky lead guitar moves Lonely Man s Cry and the intense hard rocker Demon .
In terms of talent, these guys were clearly above most of their competition a fact made even more impressive given they were still in their teens.
Judging by the back cover, these guys look like your conventional hard rock quintet, so the flute solo opening in Deception comes as a surprise.
In spite of the progrressive opening, the song quickly picks up speed, turning into a more conventional power ballad.
It also served to showcase Prince s voice in a nice context.
Drummer Lloyd s sole contribution to the album, complete with Latin percussion and a fantastic Santana-influenced guitar solo, Carry On delivers a nice funky shuffle.
As noted above, Demon is easily the album s standout performance.
Sporting a great melody and Prince s best vocal, this one starts out tough and simply gets better and better as it goes along.
Yet another strong cutm the bluesy-rocker Lonely Man s Cry contains a freaked-out flute solo at the end.
Clocking in at ten minutes, the album s opus, Sail Away features a bit of everything, including sensitive singer/songwriter moves, hard rock segments, Allman Brothers-styled guitar solos, and more whirling flute with a crunching heavyrock opening segment.
Never Done is powered by some nice guitar, yet probably the album s most accessible performance, sporting a highly catchy melody.
Drummer Lloyd is the song s secret weapon.
The band recorded Deceptive Lines November through December 1970, and it was released in 1971.
Finding a copy let alone one in decent condition is a surprisingly tough challenge.
