Had this album on repeat all day at work today and liking it more everytime. 1970 prog/rock/jazz/blues with some good Sabbathy doomishness going on too. Quality song writing, with quirky orchestration and good playing too, uniquie sound to it really, absolute gem!
I didn't expect to find such a rare and underrated band like 'Room' here on youtube. I was lucky to get thier album long long time ago here in Hong kong and it is still in my collection. i am glad to see that there are comments posted here, whcih means they are still on some people's mind.
Would you have "Cemetery Junction" available? Room is one of my favorite bands and it's a shame that they've only made one album, this song and "Cemetery Junction" are both my all time favorite songs :)
Thanks for posting this. I might be "rare" and I might (now) be close to "oblivion" but I do know John Hutcheson did not play with Room at the time of the recordings (Steve E)
My Great Aunt is the singer! So proud of her! :)

The Room page on Facebook could do with a few more friends! If you use FB join the page now! Always on the look out for Room pics and memories...

I've had no idea that Room was fronted by a female, I always thought the singer was a male.
