Genre: Apple Records, pop/rock
Places I remember: Marbeck's Records
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Help Us All
Gear costume: Without The Lord
Active compensatory factors: George Harrison heard a demo recording by the brothers and liked it enough to make the American brothers one of the last signings for Apple Records.
I suspect he liked being reminded of the soulful gospel vibe being generated by Delaney and Bonnie. And again - a lot of the songs sound like Harrison's own.
Ringo makes an appearance, along with Jim Gordon and Klaus Voormann who took over the production duties for George. So it naturally sounds Beatlesque in parts, in terms of the music.
Although it wasn't commercially successful at the time, its appeal has grown with the years. However, it's not an album I reach for on a regular basis!
Where do they all belong? Their only album for Apple Records, they subsequently moved back to the US and to A&M, but not Dark Horse, which is interesting. I didn't have any desire to collect their non Apple efforts.
