Hard to be sure (Matthew Fisher) (LP 2517)

Matthew Fisher Journey's End (Vinyl, RCA Records, 1973) *** 

Genre: pop

Places I remember: Vinyl Countdown's sale bins.

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Suzanne

Gear costume: Separation 

Active compensatory factors: He's better known as the organist in Procol Harum's early and later days, but he also recorded some solo albums, starting with this one in 1973.

He's no Gary Brooker in the vocal stakes, but who is? He carries the songs off well and the album is never short of pleasant, well played, enjoyable pop music. 

He does have solid prog credentials via his stints with Procol Harum and he lets his hair down with the title track's two parts.

The film theme Separation includes very Procol like organ, but otherwise you wouldn't really make the association.

Where do they all belong? A remainder/ sale bin item but worth exploring if you have a mind.
