Review:
It wasn't long after arriving in the U.K. that South African student Denny Gerrard began making his mark on the music scene. In 1965, Jimmy Page picked him to become one half of the duo the Fifth Avenue, while Rolling Stones' manager Andrew Loog Oldham brought him in as arranger for his project the Variations. Gerrard then linked up with Barry Younghusband, and as Warm Sounds they promptly unleashed the Top 30 hit "Birds and Bees." Swiftly bored with pop the duo soon split, and Gerrard moved into production, overseeing High Tide's critically acclaimed 1969 debut album, Sea Shanties. No surprise then, that when the South African began work on his own debut, self-produced, full-length, High Tide were by his side. However, the resulting album, Sinister Morning, was far more a reflection of Gerrard's vision than Tide's sound. Much of the set has a folkie feel, accentuated by the prolific use of Gerrard's acoustic guitar and harmonica.
...
The production gives the entire album a warm sound, although on CD it comes across as a tad too pristine. The only flaw within is Gerrard's decision to overutilize layered vocals instead of true harmonies, and paying far less attention to his vocals than he did to the rest of the album's sound. Released on Decca's mid-price imprint Nova, the album surprisingly sank without a track, but swiftly became a much sought-after collector's item. Finally after all these years, Esoteric has now lovingly remastered and reissued this splendid album on CD.

This is one of my favorite albums, ever. "Hole in my shadow" blows my mind every time I hear it. It's a shame he didn't put out more solo albums. I wonder what he's up to these days?
ReplyDeleteIt's good of you to share this with us. But assuming it is you who uploaded this album, would it have hurt to have hosted it on a file website that isn't so SHIT?
ReplyDeleteim so lucky having this album.. the favorite song for me is : true beliver ..and the following song : hole in my shadow is far away in a musically way.. .. true beliver is a long sone with his voice in lead and the two female voices suporting .. : Hole im my shadow do have their voices as lead. and his as bagground.. supporting them ..smukkebo ebay seller
ReplyDeletebut the quality of both songs is with high lisining value in my ears..
One of my best albums. The folk basis to the album plus high tides glorious guitar licks makes it a unique genre. The female vocalists are brilliant too.
ReplyDeleteJust love the timeless rage against the machine lyrics... " the poor man and his honesty" pitch. High Tide are the perfect haqrd edged accomplaintment, to the barbed folkie feel of this Album
ReplyDeleteTrue unsung heroes of rock, with messages that went unheaded
ReplyDeleteutter unsullied perfection
ReplyDeleteWTF this sharebee shite. Why have you ruined this fine album by linking it to this nasty commercial site - whereupon it disappears and is replaced with flower sellers?!
ReplyDeleteTotal bollocks. Shame on you. Did you not read any of the lyrics, or did you think it was all a joke?
