HAIR - PIECE - 1970

Еще одни датчане, играют отличный гитарно-клавишный хэви-прог, мне очень понравилось. Кроме жестких ударных номеров Supermouth или Everything's Under Control, есть и сложные проговые типа Dream Song. Любопытно было послушать 11-минутную прогрессивную версию джоплиновской (точнее, Эрмы Фрэнклин - Дженис уже кавер) Piece Of My Heart - очень интересный вариант с кучей новых решений.

Like most of Danish groups Hair was from Copenhagen, playing ambitious rock with West Coast feeling, inspired with e.g. The Doors.

They recorded only one album Piece in 1970. The material on the record is energetic with fuzz guitar, strong organ and good English singing (often in chorus).

The most progressive are two tracks, each clicks a little more than 10 minutes: Dream Song and Piece (Of My Heart), that is a longer version of Take Another Piece Of My Heart.

The LP, “Piece”, has for many years been a top-ranking discophile rarity from that period, and vinyl-copies are sold at record-fairs and internet-auctions at prices up to DKK 3.000.

So far, the record has only been available on CD in a bootleg-version. Now, however, it is re-released, digitally restored from the orignal master-tapes.

Very recommended album.
