The Gainsborough Gallery round out the trifecta of big Calgary bands to come out of the 60's (ok, except for that other one), so we gotta share their 1970 full-length while we're digging through things here. A bunch of these tracks were on the singles of theirs that we shared last year. But that doesn't make this any less worth a listen. Gainsborough Gallery have always sounded more poppy and/or folky to us - the garage rock influence on this Norman Petty-produced LP isn't nearly as prominent on their Calgary peers' full lengths. It's absolutely worth sticking through - the last track, a cover of Smokey Robinson's "Get Ready," is killer. A poppier take than the hit version by Rare Earth which was released at about the same time.
Get it here!
