One of those forgotten nuggets from England. Your basic quartet playing all of the things a fan of progressive & psych rock loves dearly.
Everyone of these tracks are strong , upbeat and full of good interplay. This album came out on the RCA/Neon label which is collectible nowadays.
Indian Summer were formed in the summer of 1969 by keyboardist Bob Jackson, guitarist/vocalist Colin Williams, drummer Paul Hooper and bassist Malcolm Harker. Based in Coventry they toured the local universities and colleges in their native Midlands before being spotted by manager Jim Simpson who also looked after Black Sabbath and Bakerloo amongst others.
In fact, they often filled in for Sabbath when they were too poor to be able to afford to get to the gigs they were booked to play! Ex-Vertigo Records manager Olav Wyper had been employed by RCA to head its progressive Neon Records label and, after a recommendation from Simpson, he signed the band after witnessing them go down a storm at Henry's Blues House in Birmingham. Teaming them with producer Rodger Bain, who'd produced Black Sabbath's self titled debut album, he put them into London's legendary Trident Studios to record their debut album.Indian Summerwas released in early 1971 (NE3) though a proposed single "Walking On Water" failed to see the light of day.
Immediately after the album's release, Harker left to take over his father's engineering firm (he currently lives in America). His replacement was Wez Price, ex-The Sorrows, who undertook the promotional duties required of the band, including dates in Switzerland. However, on returning from a gig in early 1972 with no money (and a bag of chips between them!) the band felt that something was wrong and decided to call it a day.

Check my other listings for other collectables & some unearthed new discoveries. Currently listing a lot of Indian Soundtrack lps (Added daily from this listing onwards) - Some Holy grails such as 'C.I.D. 909' 'Soul of Bobby' 'Shalimar' 'Dharmatma' & many many more As a collector of vinyl for 30+ years it is with a heavy heart that I am selling off my entire vinyl collection - mainly due to the arrival of a small family & the need for space that entails, coupled with lack of time for DJing and my spare time now being spent on creating music and setting up a small home studio. It feels right that these records seek a new home & get the playouts & attention they deserve elsewhere - Some fantastic records on offer here - A complete across the board selection of styles and genres coming up - firstly beginning with all things Bollywood - About 300+ Lp's yet to list!
