The second of only two singles by this obscure English band. Chase the Face is an interesting Baroque style pop song, with great (at times) off key brass, and a good dose of organ. You might also care to listen to 'A Girl called Fantasy'.
This demonstration copy released 13th September 1968.
Off some interest is that this copy was sent to FINITO (a record producition and promotion comapany headed by Tony Palmer & Adrian Rudge up until 1970 when Rudge moved to Polydor).
It's certainly an interesting sound.
ReplyDeleteI've seen a Dutch release picture sleeve of 'Girl Called Fantasy'/'Happiness Is Love' revealing the band consisted of 6 members. 'Fantasy' was also released in Canada on Columbia Records.
