Randall's Island - Rock and Roll City
Polydor PD 5026 / 1972 - bluesy rocker with some inklings of Pacific Gas & Electric. Usage of flutes, saxes, kazoos and pianos highlight the album, but don't set this one into collectible territory. This is a five piece outfit headed by Elliott Randall on guitar, and he really lets it rip on 'prediscovery', but other songs get goofy with post psychedelic nonsense and Who theatrics. This is the band that plays music for Jesus Christ Superstar on funky Broadway. Before that, they toured with John Mayall. the band also includes Gary King on bass, Allen Herman of Ten Wheel Drive on drums, Paul Fleisher on sax and flute, and Pot on piano and organ.
don't get me wrong, i'd play this one again, but i don't think i'd remember any of the songs in an hour. my copy is a white label promo and i don't remember its price. i think it was from the Brooklyn load. I see it on gemm for 6-15 in limited quanity and I would sell it for 8- or 10-.
overall grade is a C+/decent category filler, but by no means a must have. next.
