Format:Audio CD
The music of the British Nirvana appeared in the late 1960's. It was never widely popular even though their song "Pentecost Hotel" did receive considerable airplay.
They were popular with people who liked melodic acid influenced rock. The songs nearly all have orchestral backing and are far removed from Led Zep or Hendrix. There is however a delicacy of spirit and a sensitivity in this music that is very unusual.
The song writing had weaknesses but was "almost" very good. However, it has been 40 years since these songs were recorded and with all their faults I still love listening to them because they capture the essence of a very special and short lived time.

this album is great! love it! it was going to be a 4star album,but i just kept putting it right back in the cd player and listening again. a seminal album for any fans of british psychedelia and pop-psych,it includes extra tracks,mostly a & b sides taken from the album at the time,and is full of well crafted songs that hang around your brain.

I had the original vinyl of this back in 1969.
What memories this brings back. Brilliant.
The original Nirvana, Rainbow chaser, time to dust off the Kaftan.
