RUSSELL MORRIS "retrospective" cd, 1978
one of the true legends of Aussie rock...
had most of his hits in the late 60s and early to mid 70s...
this is a compilation of his hits from that period...
song list starts off with a couple of almost psychaedlic sounds then heads off into rock and lovely ballads...
nothing on here i dont like, and listening to it again its difficult to see why this guy never made it big in the US and the UK...
pretty hard to go past "the real thing" as great psychadelia,"rachel" as a ballad, "the gil that i love" is almost Bee Gee-esque, then theres the aduld acoustic soft rock of "sweet sweet love" and "wings of an eagle" sounds almost like America to me?!....
