Free Music Notes for The Real
Free Music Review: Pitifully unknown, shockingly good
Hit: 5 Stars
Certain hardcore circles of 70's rock obscura enthusiasts have kept the fires burning bright enough to hold prices close to the century mark on coveted vinyl copies of this title-until now, that is! (BACK! Back to your eBay purgatory, you highway robbers-BACK I say!!) Fans of melodic hard rock delivered with crack musicianship won't want to miss this long overdue CD reissue of Maypole's sole LP release. The music is at times reminiscent of the "Tommy"-era Who, or early Wishbone Ash, delivered with an air of self-assured confidence and panache rare for a debut effort (it's really too bad that it had to end here as well). The real delight for me was the liner notes-written by the main songwriter/vocalist/guitarist, that delivers a thorough history of the band. One of the things that fed the mystique of this album over the years was the fact that the original album cover featured only a painting of the band, with no mention of personnel lineup. As it turns out, this was not so much by marketing design (a la the "mystery" of Klaatu) but due to the fact that the album was rushed out without final approval by the artists (much to the lead singer's chagrin). As it turns out, this was the least of the band's troubles. The liner notes reveal a tragic history rivalling the Badfinger story, with its tales of suicides, fatal illnesses, bad management and (of course) record company weasels. The good news is that the band is apparently reforming and planning an eventual tour, which would be a nice coda for these talented chaps. Recommended!
