just watched jim jarmuschâs dead man for the first time and it made me go back and revisit this album (beautiful film go watch it if you havenât). you can hear how many artists proceeding young were inspired by this album.. very important for the progression of alternative rock
This is one of the greatest proto-psych rock albums of all time. 1971. Bunch of 1st generation black British dudes from former colonies. Crazy album and crazy story. They disappeared as the album was nearing completion. There was no follow up album, no nothing, they never reappeared. The name of the album comes from the fact that the label decided to put the music out after not being able to find them for a while because it was so good that âWe Had To Let You Have Itâ. I know this because I have an original copy on vinyl and there is a handwritten note printed on a piece of paper inside the sleeve. The track âRainâ is for my money one of the best songs written in this genre from that era. If they had been a popular band, I think it would be considered a classic. Also, I dare you to listen to the song âThe Systemâ and tell me Lynyrd Skynyrd didnât lift the main lick of the Free Bird solo from it. Yeah, I said it.
