Synopsis

Album Description
Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1974 album from the British Pop trio including bonus tracks. Signed to EMI in April 1974, consummate musicians David Paton/Billy Lyall/Stuart Tosh expertly meshed catchy tunes, punchy guitars and strong harmonies to score major international success with three albums in three years. From The Album Of. was written by Paton and Lyall and majorly demoed before they ever got to EMI's studios, whereupon they picked Alan Parsons from the in-house staff list to produce. Soft Rock meets Prog Rock with enough mainstream hooks to keep the customer more than satisfied. The Top 10 single 'Magic' is here in album form and original 'pre-strings' version. Bonus tracks also include two unreleased songs and a rare early off-shoot single released as Scotch Mist. RPM. 2009.

Magic beyond decades
Javier Moreno | San Francisco Bay Area, California | 01/12/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a superb album with extraordinary arrangments and well played instruments and voices. David Paton and Bill Lyall know how to make good songs and touch our hearts and minds.The best moments of this magic album are "Just A Smile", "My Auntie Iris", "Lovely Lady Smile", the sgt.peppered "Over The Moon", "The Girl Next Door" and the masterpiece "Magic", maybe one of the best pop songs ever recorded. The power of this trio is concentred in the vocal variations within the chords, and they work just at the finest vocal levels ever recorded in music history.Definetely, "From the Album of the Same Name" is the Best Album of 1974, with Steely Dan's "Pretzel Logic" and Wings' "Band On The Run".Buy It now, brother, you won't regret it. Pure quality."
