High in the Morning — The British Progressive Pop Sounds of 1973
(Grapefruit / Cherry Red)
★★★★

THIS nicely packaged three-CD set must rank as one of the most impressive archive anthologies that I’ve come across recently.

The contents range far and wide in their choice of subject matter, reflecting the startling breadth and diversity of the musical landscape almost half a century ago.
