3.0 out of 5 stars Never took off..., 18 April 2008
By Greville Rob "peter60780" (Malvern, Worcs, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Priming Room's 1970 debut on Deram as a showcase of a musical eclecticsm spanning rock, blues, prog, jazz and even classical proved too rich a mixture for the buying public, sealing the fate of of this obscure British progressive rock act. Despite the competency of playing, Jane Kavern's strident lead vocal, some imaginative brass and string arrangements, the album defies genre; there was simply too much in this Room. Aptly-named, 'Pre-Flight' is a series of take-off checks. However, being with few peers, it should be investigated for its audacity and occasional sparks of innovation. Of course, it's a must-have for collectors of lost Brit prog.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still a great album today., 6 Mar 2009
By Alan Burridge (Poole,, Dorset. United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Largely from the rural town of Blandford in Dorset, Room played their unique brand of music around just about every venue in Poole, Bournemouth, and the neighbouring towns. Their music has now been described and pigeon-holed as early prog-rock for want of an apt genre, but it was sharp, well-rehearsed, and was slick with crucial timing required between the instruments and the female voice.
Entering for the Bournemouth area heats for Melody Maker's 'Battle of the Bands' contest in 1969, which they won; they were then declared close runner's-up in the London finals. The band's disappointment became quelled somewhat when they were awarded a recording contract with Deram records, of which the result was this superb album.
Quite why we need pigeon-holes anyway I'm not really sure, just to guide the wayward record buyer in the right direction, I suppose? But this is it, this is Room; their sound is rock, classical, jazz along with Jane Kevern's voice which suited the music perfectly.
History declares their lack of an adequate pigeon-hole led to their demise, but they were well received in their support band role wherever they played, and with whomever the bill-topper happemed to be.
If you're a rock fan then you'll definitely enjoy this album; it's different, and that's was the main point behind what Room were all about; they were highly original and defied categorisation.
