Edgar Broughton Band The Harvest Years 196 -1973 (2011 UK 4CD album set - Aswell as comprising digitally remastered versions of their first five albums ('Wasa Wasa', 'Sing Brother Sing', 'Edgar Broughton Band', 'Inside Out' and 'Oora'), this collection also features the previously unreleased concert 'Live At Hyde Park, London, 18th July 1970'. It was the band's third appearance at the park, on a bill featuring fellow Harvest luminaries Roy Harper, Kevin Ayers, and headlined by Pink Floyd. Their 45 minute set is faithfully reproduced in all its raw and raucous glory!).

Most retrospectives of the late 1960s and early 1970s musical counterculture tend to focus on the gentler side, the pastoral underground that kept the spirit of folk Eden alive. What still remains unfashionably overlooked is the scungier reaction to the hippy idyll: those artists whose refusal to smoke the peace pipe was expressed in a rawer, more desperate form of heavy blues-aftermath rock. Cast as willing outsiders from the start, the likes of Groundhogs, Pink Fairies, and Global Village Trucking Company were slated to play outside the fence, slamming and jamming protests and gurning crudities from the back of a flatbed truck. Mudflecked descendants of Winstanley’s Diggers, arriving in clapped-out vans, to announce the wilting of flower power. Music from a paradise garden turned to mud. The most enduring of these were The Edgar Broughton Band, a righteous, Beefheart-loving brigade formed by Broughton brothers Robert (aka ‘Edgar’) and Steve, with bassist Arthur Grant, in mid-’60s Warwick. With in- again-out-again guitarist Victor Unitt, the outfit delivered a pounding to the Tolkien-tranquilised hordes of UFO and Middle Earth, taking up a strategic position in the Notting Hill scene in ’68, from where they were signed to Blackhill Enterprises and became an early addition to EMI’s ‘alternative’ label, Harvest. This generation of the underground - which effectively lasted until the economic crises of the Heath administration, only to dissipate into the nationwide commune scene and the rugged ordeal of outdoor free festivals – fell into a curious blind spot in UK politics, with general rage against the Man and the Machine, but few specific issues to grapple with. How much more angry energy would’ve been generated had Britain stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the US in Vietnam? As this four-CD set - comprising five LPs plus an unreleased Hyde Park concert from 1970 - reveals, EBB had rage (and humour) in spades. “Death Of An Electric Citizen”, from debut Wasa Wasa, is a Beefheartian romp, as is single “Apache Drop Out”, a curious mix of Safe As Milk boogie and pastiche Shadows. And in channelling their hate into “Out Demons Out!”, the ritual chant of the festival community, taped at a ‘live studio’ concert at Abbey Road in December 1969, they found their vocation. Riffing off The Fugs’ Pentagon-cleansing anthem, “Demons” is goof-off protest folk with a throbbing bluesy vein. Shortly after came the single “Up Yours!”, a V-sign to the political process that today’s student dissenters would be wise to adopt. Sing Brother Sing (1970), full of “songs about child molesters, nymphos and the imminent apocalypse”, according to one review, and The Edgar Broughton Band (1971) were the group’s zenith. Concerts reveal EBB in their element, but surprise subtleties such as the string arrangements and stereo guitar effects on “For Dr Spock” and David Bedfords’s orchestrations on “Evening Over Rooftops” show the group - now back with Unitt - to be more inventive in the studio than their scuzzy image might suggest. “... Rooftops” aspires to epic status, a skyline meditation, uncannily pre-echoing Neil Young’s “Like A Hurricane”, while “The Birth” is lanky and goosey-loose, gritted with hoarse harmonica. For Inside Out (1972), they decamped to a Devonshire mansion. Its remoteness from city life is audible in more laidback, country-ish textures, though “Homes Fit For Heroes” and “Double Agent” still dealt with contemporary issues. Oora (1973) keeps on trucking through triumphalist rock (“Things On My Mind”) and austerity folk-rock (“Eviction”); the end of the Harvest story but not the band, who continue the mission to this day. In this new age of cuts, riots and harsh winters, their music might just start making sense.

uncut.co.uk / Album Review by Rob Young

Edgar Broughton Band была основана в 1968 году в английском городе Уорвик братьями Broughton - Эдгаром и Стивом. В начале своей карьеры они играли блюз и назывались, соответственно, Edgar Broughton Blues Band. Но постепенно, следуя моде, стали играть более психоделическую и прогрессив музыку. В конце 1968 года группа переехала в Лондон и подписалась на прогрессив-рок лейбл Harvest Records. Первый альбом Wasa Wasa вышел в 1969 году и не попал в чарты. Зато второй и третий альбомы Sing Brother Sing и Edgar Broughton Band были весьма успешными достигли 18 и 28 мест в британских чартах. После этого относительного успеха группа выпустила ещё пять альбомов (один из них под именем The Broughtons), сменила несколько лейблов, но дальнейший успех был весьма ограничен. Группа периодически выступает и сейчас.

ru.wikipedia.org
Edgar Broughton Band - британская рок-группа, образованная братьями Эдгаром и Стивом Броутонами в Уорике, Англия, в 1968 году и исполнявшая тяжелый психоделический прогрессив/блюз-рок. Группа начинала в андеграунде, но к началу 70-х годов приблизилась к мэйнстриму: значительный успех в Британии имели второй и третий альбомы, соответственно Sing Brother Sing (1970, #18 UK) и Edgar Broughton Band (1971, #28 UK). Однако в тот самый момент, когда казалось, что коммерческий прорыв близок, Edgar Broughton Band изменили стиль, перейдя к более спокойной (в звуке), но при этом и более политизированной музыке. Неудачи в чартах привели к уходу из Harvest и вынужденным длительным паузам. В 1979 году группа вернулась (став секстетом) с альбомом Parlez Vous English? - уже как The Broughtons. Позже, в 1980-х и 1990-х годах Edgar Broughton Band записывались и гастролировали под своим первоначальным названием, но успеха не повторили. В 2006 году перевыпуск всего бэк-каталога группы вызвал всплеск интереса к её творчеству и, как следствие, воссоединение. Edgar Broughton Band провели два тура по Англии и Германии, где выступили на фестивале Burg Herzberg 2007 года.

Formed in 1968 in Warwick, England, the Edgar Broughton Band were part of the late 60s British underground blues boom. They were contemporaries of Groundhogs, Hawkwind, and The Pink Fairies, but were unique within the movement due to their radical political consciousness (which is highly pertinent). They were famous for performing free concerts, often on the backs of lorries (which is probably not that pertinent here, except to the extent that this was you had do, in those days, to ensure the achievement of complete political independence`from the recording industry oligarchy, and, by implication, , the political establishment. {It appears that nothing has actually changed, in this respect, subsequently}). Their political aim was said to be 'subverting what's above'. Their bluesy and psychedelic hard rock, combined with their politics, led to their frequent inclusion in the bracket of protopunk. Arguably, their original approach to music could also be interpreted, a little more liberally, by crediting them with the label protoheavy metal {given their pioneering [especially loud, as well as creative] guitar work). This radical approach to music, art, and, pertinently,active (hence {hoperfully} effective) politics, also seems to have resulted in frequent hassle by the "filth" (police) for no (apparently) justifiable reason. Edgar Brought.On a Band that was clearly strongly influenced by Captain Beefheart, as evidenced, for example, by "Apache Dropout. This is a clear tribute to, and endorsement of, "Dropout Boogie" from Beefheart's first album (Safe as Milk), as well as a somewhat more tongue in cheek allusion to "Apache" (a big '60's hit for the Shadows). Perhaps best known for their chant: "Out Demons, Out!" which was always played at length, with variations for political leaders on both sides of the 'pond'. Performing this at Keele University they handed out spray cans and the union bulding was covered in graphiti police arrived and a riot ensued. In 1971, the band decided that existence as a power trio was limiting, and asked Victor Unitt, who had been playing meanwhile in The Pretty Things, to rejoin the band. In May 71, with the new lineup, they released possibly their finest work: their eponymous third album, which contained the classic "Evening Over Rooftops" (again with strings by David Bedford which Edgar Broughton called "stunning"). Mike Oldfield also featured on "Thinking Of You". Shortly after the release of Bandages in 1975, John Thomas left and was replaced by Terry Cottam. In 1976, having recorded the live album Live Hits Harder (which was not released until 1979), the Edgar Broughton Band dissolved. Later, Edgar and Steve Broughton, together with Grant, re-grouped as The Broughtons to release Parlez-Vous English in 1979, with Tom Nordon and Pete Tolsen playing guitar and Richard DeBastion on keyboards. After releasing Superchip in 1982 the band recorded no more studio material but did continue touring infrequently.
