V.A. - Heads Together - First Round Vertigo Records 1971

Like the liner notes rightly suggest, this is not a label sampler in the usual meaning. No top-selling acts draw the cart, no Black Sabbath, no Uriah Heep, no Colosseum, no Juicy Lucy. Moreover, there are five otherwise unavailable tracks on this sampler, so it seems natural to have a closer look at these. The track by Sunbird sounds vaguely like the old Nirvana, even like Bronco. The Jimmy Campbell track is non-LP and on par with the best of his album and therefore an asset. Folkie Carthy makes an unexpected appearance and this is a classic version of a classic tune, excellent. Pete Aikin plays a self-penned song that sounds traditional too but is quite inspired. Only the Lassoo track sounds like the ''new'' Nirvana and is expendable. From the already issued tracks, the best cut by Tudor Lodge is very welcome too, as this is a much cheaper way to get hold of this marvelous cut than trying to secure their sole and not so very exciting album.

  2. Hey MDP, thank you for your information, but in fact, it is not dead, but often at first click it goes to the general page saying that. Try one second time and you get it. Enjoy it.
