Tucky Buzzard - Coming On Again 1971 (2011 Flawed Gems)



In contrast to almost all sources it's very likely that this amazing, spanish only album was the first Tucky Buzzard album ever, even than official, self titled US Capitol album debut from May 1971. Most probably this forgotten hard progressive classic was taped in Madrid in late '70 (still with first drummer Paul Francis who soon after went to Fuzzy Duck) and than released somewhere in 1971 by Hispavox label.
It's worth noting that some parts of album were recorded with some little help of Madrid Philharmonic Orchestra - especially 14 minutes long title suite which is fascinating and truly awesome full of rich melodies and shifting rhythms. Undoubtedly this very impressive and fresh sounding mixture of pure heavy rock and orchestral sounds is the best Tucky Buzzard LP ever recorded.(words from back cover)

I second that this is the best album Tucky Buzzard ever recorded. Full of great pop melodies with hard rock sounds who sometimes sound  a little bit like Deep Purple or Led Zep. But it sound always of Tucky Buzzard with the great mix of hard rock, pop and orchestral parts. I remember how surprised i was as i heard the album for the first time. It's a pity the band don't got more attention. Enjoy.(Frank)
