Bulldog Breed - Made In England (1970 British Psychedelic Pop)

Bulldog Breed - Made In England (1970 British Psychedelic Pop) CD (2002) To Mp3 320 Kbit/s. Included CD Covers & This Info. Product Description: Description Long established as one of the minor classics of the British psychedelic pop genre, the Bulldog Breed album 'Made In England' was recorded in mid-1969 but not released by Deram Nova until the beginning of the following year - by which time its thrilling Spirit-of- 67 mod/psych sound and commitment to hook-laden, sub-three minute songs was fatally out of sync with the self-indulgence and bombast of the nascent progressive rock era. Taken from the original master tapes, this 2009 retooling adds both sides of the group s equally essential pre-album single, Portcullis Gate b/w Halo In My Hair . With new band quotes, rare photos and, for the first time, the full lowdown on Bulldog Breed s convoluted story including how vice queen Janie Jones came to make a cameo appearance on standout track Austin Osmanspare this is the definitive reissue of a much-loved, highly collectable psychedelic pop album. Biography by Richie Unterberger Bulldog Breed were an obscure late-'60s British psychedelic band who put out one album of typical but unremarkable music in the style, though it was versatile in its approach, spreading across pop-psychedelia, more mod-ish, guitar-driven tracks, a bit of blues-rock, story-songs, and a jazzy piece. Prior to being in Bulldog Breed, drummer Louis Farrell had been in Gun, and some members had played with another obscure British '60s group, Please. After Bulldog Breed, some of them ended up in the similarly little-known outfits T2 and Asgard. Review by Richie Unterberger Bulldog Breed's mighty obscure album -- the only one they put out -- is face-in-the-crowd late-'60s British psychedelia, neither memorable nor annoying. It's a bit of a club sandwich of period U.K. psych approaches, from the assertive mod guitar chording of "Paper Man" and testosterone-driven bluesy rock to clomp-a-clomp singsong vignettes of everyday English life ("Eileen's Haberdashery Store") and bittersweet harpsichord balladry ("Dougal"). Several cuts have an almost definitively clichéd late-'60s British wah-wah psych pop guitar, and the filtered-fishbowled texture of the vocal on "Austin Osmanspare" is likewise the kind of sound you rarely heard on record in any other years. "Friday Hill," the best song, is fairly nice sad meditative U.K. pop-psych, and "You" is an unexpected shift into an almost cocktail-jazzy breeze. In all, though, the album's appeal is limited to fervid collectors of '60s psychedelia. Tracklist: 01. Paper Man 02. Broomstick Ride 03. I Flew 04. Eileen´s Haberdashery Store 05. Folder Men 06.
