    Happy The Man-Beginnings.

    Somehow I get the feeling it's going to be a short lived thread. This version of the band is so different than anything that came after and it's been years since I played it. All comments welcome.

    I think it sits fairly well with other "vintage discoveries" of US 70s progressive rock, although it obviously is very different from the stupendous refinements of the later, "classic" HtM sound.

    A couple of the tracks drag on a bit and move a bit too slowly for their own good, though. But stuff like "Leave That Kitten" already point to an embryonic version of the HtM we would get to know.

    A band searching for something different and unique to be sure.

    Aw, they look so young and cute, I just want to pinch their cheeks.
    rcarlberg: Is there anything sadder than a song that has never been played?
    Plasmatopia: Maybe a song in D minor that has never been played?

    bob_32_116: That would be a terrific triple bill: Cyan, Magenta and Yello.
