Fantasy - Politely Insane (1973)

From their first album Paint a Picture (1973).

The British band Fantasy released two albums in the early '70s of predominantly pastoral progressive rock. Originally called FireQueen, the group was comprised of Paul Lawrence (vocals, guitar), David Metcalfe (keyboards), and Dave Read (bass). Their first album was Paint a Picture (1973), a mellow and imaginative collection of song-based material that featured a heavy use of acoustic guitars, Hammond organs, and pianos. In 1974, the band recorded Beyond the Beyond, which was not released until 1992. The album saw the group expanding their sound into more quintessential progressive material while remaining true to the pastoral sound of their debut.

The more I hear this, the more I don't understand why it wasn't a hit. Remember working as a machine minder at Northfleet Press with Paul Lawrence (lead singer)when this was released. Was it not a power play on Radio Luxembourg? Cheers mate, my seven years working with you and Tony were great.

Wow, never thought i'd hear this again. Got this record down from the loft today. I worked with Paul Lawrence at The Northfleet Press in Northfleet, Kent and remember buying this when it was released. That was 28 years ago, if you read this Paul, how are you?
