Edward Bear Close Your Eyes (Vinyl - Capitol, 1973) **
Genre: Canadian pop/rock
Places I remember: Real Groovy Records
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Close Your Eyes
Gear costume: What You Done
Active compensatory factors: Bought on the back of the single Last Song that I got from a funny little electrical goods store in Greenlane, ultimately the album is disappointing.
My expectation was that Larry Evoy's great Close Your Eyes/ Last Song vocals would be scattered like stardust over other great songs on the album, but sadly - that's not the case.
Generally, the songs aren't up to Close Your Eyes quality and/or Larry doesn't sing everything. Whatever the case - it's a patchy soft pop album.
Where do they all belong? In one-hit wonderland with Last Song (on their previous album) and a near miss with Close Your Eyes - which I think is a much better song!
