T.2. /IT'LL ALL WORK OUT IN BOOMLAND SKL 5050 (-70) UK


 Setting initiated by earlier members of the band Neon Pearl. After they broke up the drummer Peter Dunton joined Gun and bassist Bernard Jinks went to Bulldog Breed. Later those two teamed up with Bulldog Breed guitarist Keith Cross to form T.2. This album wasn't promoted properly by UK Decca and then pressed in low numbers so it didn't sell much in Britain and became a one-off for the trio, which split due to inner friction, though later line-ups released a couple more albums in the nineties. I don't know much about how it was made, but it has most I want from this genre - catchy melodies, rhythmic gaming, wild drumming and tons of awsome guitars. Favorite tracks - "In Circles" is just furiously lovely and the "Morning" suite covering side two is both adventurous and ear pleasing twentyone minutes. The mix is quite narrow, probably with compatibility in mind, and the difference from using the mono button isn't big. Decca still released monos at this time and one of the most reliable UK dealers I bought from some decades ago swore he had seen this as mono. I doubt it, but maybe some copy still exists out there waiting to be found. 1970 issues also in US and Canada (London PS 583), France, Germany and Downunder. German CD on World Wide Records (SPM-WWR-CD-0032) came with three bonus tracks recorded at a BBC session 1970.  Premiere UK had label as shown here in a thin laminated cover with "blue box" inner.

    1. Glad we agree. Btw have You noticed that the tarck "Ethiopia" on the Jerico album have resemblance to "In Circles" here. It's not like Jerico copied, but they may have been inspired.

    3. I apologise I repley after the month. You've right! It's very similar. T2 was popular in this time.
