Although Autumn began as a bubblegum band in the late-60's, the early-70's found them, after various line-up changes, a markedly different band. With lush harmonies, Beatle style arrangements and a great batch of songs that ranged from breezy pop to progressive rock (as well as the the seven minute orchestral extravaganza: 'Kill My World'), Comes... Autumn showed a mature and accomplished band that belied both their age and their beginnings. Features the singles 'Falling' and 'Goblin's Gamble', plus 5 bonus tracks: including the rare final single 'Just Couldn't Believe It', a spirited cover of the Beatles' 'Day Tripper' and previously unreleased demos.. It has been re-mastered by Gil Matthews. Liner notes from Ted Lethborg featuring quotes from a recent interview with lead singer Tony Romeril.(excerpt from amazon editorial office)
The band showed all their skills on this album, which went beyond their bubblegum past, although they also benefited from it on this album; In the form of great hooklines. The songs come across as absolutely relaxed and casual. With this album the band had recorded their masterpiece. Enjoy.(Frank)

ReplyDeleteWELCOME BACK FRANK ! I was worried about you. It's good to see you here again uploading music !
ReplyDeleteGlad tosee you back.
ReplyDeleteThanks to all of you for the kind words. You're just great.
ReplyDeletekind regards
Frank
Thanks a lot, Frank, and... welcome back!
ReplyDeleteVery versatile band,- the whole record sounds more like a compilation sampler of different bands from different continents - but very entertaining nonetheless,- strong song-writing, excellent harmonies and great guitar playing.
In the mid 70ties, singer and bass player player Allan Marshall and the wonderful guitarrist Steve McMurray went on forming Canadian/Australian hardrock band "Wireless" who recorded for Atlantic and Anthem Records and had a minor hit with Don Covay's "Chain of Fools". Unfortunately, McMurray passed away in 2014, aged only 63.
Welcome back! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI'll second that! It's great to see you back Frank and hope all is well on your end. Enjoying giving this disc a spin and they do do a great job on the Beatles Day Tripper here. My only lament is that as good as that live track from the Whisky A Go Go in 1970 sounds, I'd love to hear the rest of that show that was obviously recorded for posterity.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Checked daily to see if you were back. Glad you are.
ReplyDeleteJust a quick question. I have tried the usual password and not getting the Wutumn album to extract. Am I missing something?
ReplyDeleteHello Jeff,
Deletethe password is: SB1 . I tried it again myself for the Autumn album and it works fine. Is it possible you did something wrong? Other people who downloaded this album had no problems with the pass. I hope you will figure it out.
Kind regards
Frank
I cannot see what I did wrong. I have even downloaded again in both formats and each time I do I gt the failed message. Either incomplete, damged or wrong password. STill locked out. Weird. I have checked out yuor stuff before with no problem.
DeleteAnd boom! 3rd day I download with a different brwser and it works fine . Go figure. Cards didn't align for 2 days, I guess.
DeleteHi Jeff,
Deletei make the archives with WinRar. I don't know what software you use. Try it with WinRar's newest version of the software.I had similar problems in the past and could solve the problem this way. In case it will not work i send you a new link.
Best
Frank
Just saw now at the moment your latest comment. Good to hear it works now.
Deletecheers
Frank
@Seattleite: Unfortunately, only one further Autumn song from The Whisky a Go Go survived (Jimmy Webb's "By the Time I Get to Phoenix"), on an Australian EP called "The Best of The Whisky a Go Go" on Chart Records (Aus 45)CHX-11,744 containing two more songs by (take care!) Barrie McAskill with Levi Smith Clefs. By the way, this "a Go Go"-Club isn't the Hollywood one but a nightclub of the same name in Sydney, Australia.
