Short intro

Just a Collection of Antiques and Curios is the third album by the Strawbs, mostly recorded live at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London on 11 July 1970. The album reached number 27 in the UK Albums Chart. The band line-up had changed from the previous album, Dragonfly. Only founder-members Dave Cousins and Tony Hooper remained with double bass player Ron Chesterman and cellist Claire Deniz having departed the band, and bassist John Ford, drummer Richard Hudson, and keyboardist Rick Wakeman having joined. This album, cut live at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall in July of 1970, was the first Strawbs album to be released in the United States. It didn't do much in the U. but it did chart in England, and the original concert also got Rick Wakeman his first front-page coverage in the British music press, owing to his bravura performance on the solo piano spot, Temperament for a Mind. The group is trying really hard here to make the jump from folk to folk-rock. Текст песни: The reaper stood before him in the room His melancholy smile matched the gloom He tried to rise but fell back where he lay Tried to speak but stumbled as the sentence slipped front cover represents antiques and curios belonging to the band, including: the central object is a herb dryer, owned by Dave also featured the toy piano he played on Dragonfly. the lead sheet for the single Forever. Tony Hooper's science fiction magazine, his John Lennon glasses seen on the inner spread of Strawbs, his bilge mug and Bells' whisky bottle. Rick's clarinet. Hud's tabla drum. John's model car. The US had not initially wanted to have a live album as the first US Strawbs release, but Strawbs had just signed directly to A&M, and so North La Brea Avenue stepped up to the plate. Only a single sleeve though, and no lyrics. Songs in album The Strawbs - Just A Collection Of Antiques And Curios 1970. The Strawbs - Martin Luther King's Dream. The Strawbs - The Antique Suite.

Dragonfly had featured Rick Wakeman for the first time on a Strawbs album. But while Wakeman's contribution to that album was very limited and subte, here Rick is allowed much more space. Live album by Strawbs Recorded 11 July 1970 Producer Tony Visconti Just 1970 9 Songs. The Vision of the Lady of the those recordings the group released their album Just A Collection Of Antiques And Curios. In reality, Just A Collection Of Antiques And Curios was their third album, but their first interesting one from a progressive point of view. It was actually a live album. The album was only the beginning of Strawbs evolution towards progressive rock and is therefore only a transitional work. Anyway, this is still a very enjoyable album where all the material here is really good. Conclusion: Just A Collection Of Antiques And Curious is a great live album
