The Memory – B3.

The Memory - 1975 Same (private, SFL-1004)



Unknown rare album of The memory. I like the cover of monotone at first glance. I did not find any information about them, but it seems to be a male duo musician and a musician who worked on the underground. A strong harmonica sound is heard from the first song. The intro of the A side departs a lot with the harmonica, and despite the simple composition of the instrument, the gap of the space does not feel so. The vocals are a bit disappointing, but the songs are singing with their own music. I think that their appeal is in the guitar work. So I personally feel the album on the B side are better. It's not a lot of instruments, but it has plenty of power to support the sound and it has a nice tone that matches their voice.

Cenotaph Corner - 1976 Ups And Downs ‎(Cottage, Uk)



Louise and Mike's vocal harmonies are a collection of beautiful, ups and downs. Mike's vocals are great, but Louise's voice is especially impressive. It looks like a scary bird.
Half of them are solo songs and the rest are harmony songs. I do not know who wrote the composition on the back cover, but it looks like Mike's composition.

Cottage is a label launched by John Golding. Cottage Records has a lot of beautiful records, but personally it is one of my favorite albums with "Paul Edwards - Longstone Farm" album.
