(4 out of 5 stars)

"As a first album , this is interesting. Walking in the park has greenslade's heavy jazz. Valentyne suite is an extended jam with classical as well as jazz improv. This group came out with the grass is greener on dunhil later in the year. They were essentially England's BST with equal or better talent to the Moody's . Their focus was blues , jazz, classics and they did Hall of the Mountain King to thundering guitar solos by David Clempson. This is an intro lp with a taste of the talents to emerge in later offerings."
