I've seen this review in English, French and even (спасибо Вадим) Russian. I don’t know who the author of this article is, but it accurately characterizes both the style and mood of this very interesting album, which, like the Driftwood album, has undeservedly remained in the shadows....
"It is always this same mixture of surprise and incomprehension that arouses the discovery of a lost gem when the object in hand bears the label of a major label and outclasses many albums in the catalog in question; in this case, Deram. At first glance, we think of the Grand Hotel de Procol Harum (for its slightly kitsch, so British cover), but rest assured, the content has nothing to do (despite a few prog incursions here and there), eyeing towards pop, an inventive and refined baroque pop, straddling the Beatles and Colin Blunstone (except for the more Dylanesque "This Is London" and background vocals à la Tim Murphey of "Melancholia") necessarily well-produced, that you can recognize it by its elaborate melodies, showers of strings and unexpected rhythm breaks. Filiation which owes nothing to chance, Neil Harrison subsequently seized (like the Fab 2) of the Liverpool boys' repertoire (is it necessary to specify that here, all the songs are original? ), whether with The Beatles Tribute Band or The Bootleg Beatles in which he plays John Lennon.
