BEGGARS OPERA 'WATERS OF CHANGE' Digi-Pak VersionREP5072Also the first time on CD: SAGITTARY AND BEGGARS CANT BE CHOOSERS on REPERTOIRE Records Germany.Buy now at www.repertoirerecords.comFootage of BEGGARS OPERA GERMANY 1971I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Beggars Opera: Close to My Heart Beggars Opera £10.00 (including postage)postmaster@beggarsopera.co.ukwww.beggarsopera.co.uk "Another age, the spirit's still alive. Old grandiosity in a new millenium. They were one of those great progressive rock bands who never hit the big time - and didn't seem to want to, as it was music that mattered more than success. The BEGGARS OPERA leader, guitarist Ricky Gardiner, had a bite of it, though, having played with Bowie and Iggy and composed the famous "Passengers" riff for the latter, yet again, his old band were always close to his heart. This may be the real meaning of the new album's title, the group's first since 1981. Ten years in the making due to Ricky's electrosensitivity which prevents him from dealing with recording equipment for a long time, it finds the master in a warm environment of his wife, the OPERA vocalist and keyboard player Virginia Scott, and their son, Tom, on drums. Not the same ensemble, then. But from the opening cosmic guitar lines of "Secret" that break into the urgent singing and on, to the fantastic folk swirl of instrumental "Here Comes Everybody", there's the same sparse lushness that, in the early '70s, took them from the Victorian extravaganza of "Act One" to the "Waters Of Change" futurism...................

Sounds Like: "If only all compilations were put together with such care and attention! This wonderful 3 CD collection comes housed in a compact box with each CD in a card sleeve and with a booklet which provides a biog of every act; the CD's, booklet and box all show the infamous swirl label. Whilst the better known Vertigo acts of the day are represented (Black Sabbath, Status Quo, Uriah Heep) the real joy of this collection is contained in the music of bands who didn't quite break through (Gentle Giant, Beggars Opera, Juicy Lucy, Patto etc) and those whom you may not have heard of at all (Cressida, Atlantis, May Blitz et all). All of the music shares the wonderful sparse production so redolent of the period. And just look at some of those song titles; Song for the Bearded Lady, Bring Out Your Dead, Pantagruel's Nativity! This collection contains a veritable cornucopia of early 70's rock, and can ultimately be summed up in just one word: magnificent!" - Reviewer: Cornucopiabloke (Bristol United Kingdom) - Amazon.com on 'Vertigo Box Set' Record Label: Vertigo/Repertoire/RGS Type of Label: Major |
