"Our Love Was, Is" rip

Not bad...not great either

Interesting to think this came from California,sounds decidedly Brittish.

This has nothing on The Creation though.

@PAULLONDEN Bollocks !! I disagree, this song is as good as any of the Creation's work. I have nothing but respect for Eddie Phillips he's a great songwriter & guitar innovator but this song would not be out of place on the Who Sell Out record because it's that good..

Agreed - This kicks ass, and as much as I like The Creation, the production is better too. Not to mention the hooks.

this is maximum r&b, it's so good it can't be a put on surely! yeah it really rocks it's number 1! ( I still don't believe it's real, I want more!)

Can someone post Got to Find the Light here? I have it but don't know how to post it. It was a big hit for them in '72. Reminscent of Simon & Garfunkel, really beautiful song.

Thanks Rich.. were you in the same room as the amp for the recording?

[kurskss]

Is the guitar player using a dropped tuning to get the low growl out of his Rickenbacker?

[d13flat5]

For the recording of the song Gladly I used a Gibson with normal tuning and played through a Fender Showman Head with 1x15" cabinet cranked way up. No effects were used.

Thanks,

Rich
