Majority One!

Majority One- Rainbow Rockin' Chair 1969-71

An excellent compilation of material by excellent pop-psych outfit Majority One, their work may have been really after the Psych rush, but if you say any of these songs sounds later than '68, I'll call you a liar! haha. Never made it in native England although they did make a fair name for themselves abroad and infact recorded all of these songs in Paris, France. Some really excellent music, fairly simple in parts, quite rocking at times too, from the fast paced "Get Back Home" to the mellow acid soaked "Rainbow Rocking Chair". Also has one of the best and most original covers of a Beatles' song I think I've heard "A Hard Days Night". The incredibly English "A Cigarette, A Cup Of Tea" makes you feel right at the heart of the whymsical UK psych scene!

I wouldn't know about this band if it wasn't for www.marmalade-skies.co.uk and I wouldn't own the album if I didn't win the competition on the site last year! So many thanks to Mick at MS for that (do check the site if you haven't already, it's excellent)!

This really is a great album, at time rough vocal effects make the compilation seem fairly ragged around the edges, but it isn't and you dont have to look hard on each track for great music.

So go on... you know you want to!
