Leaving Metro after their debut album, Duncan resumed his solo career, recording two highly-regarded late 1970s albums for Transatlantic (by now re-branded Logo), with The Wild Places and its title track single both reaching the Top Ten in one or two European territories. This anthology covers his time with Transatlantic\/Logo, both with Metro and as a solo performer. It includes the long-lost late 1979 recording China Girl (no relation to the Bowie\/Iggy Pop song), which now gains its first-ever release in any format.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cherry Tree","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50417376624971,"sku":"1121825","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/4a5ce50e-eb02-425e-b165-5c7168c8d639_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726727909"},{"product_id":"give-me-take-you","title":"Give Me Take You","description":"\u003cp\u003eWidely acknowledged as a genuine UK baroque pop\/psychedelic folk classic, \u003cem\u003eGive Me Take You\u003c\/em\u003e was a heavily sought-after Immediate Records album on the collectors’ circuit, with original copies selling for several hundred pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt has also attracted significant critical acclaim, being described by one monthly music magazine as “an English ‘Astral Weeks’,” and regularly compared to such masterpieces as \u003cem\u003eThe Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Zombies’ Odessey and Oracle\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eNick Drake’s Five Leaves Left\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing full liner notes and rare photos\/memorabilia, this definitive CD reissue adds 11 bonus tracks to the original stereo album, including mono single mixes, an aborted demo by Duncan Browne’s short-lived Summer-of-’67 flower power outfit Lorel, and perhaps most intriguingly of all, some fascinating pre-album rehearsal performances that are now being made available for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grapefruit","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50452240630091,"sku":"311638","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/0d2c88ad-21ae-42c6-9369-5efa9b416c51_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727145130"},{"product_id":"give-me-take-you-anniversary-edition","title":"Give Me Take You (Anniversary Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDuncan Browne’s debut album \u003cem\u003eGive Me Take You\u003c\/em\u003e was released on Immediate Records in August 1968. At the time it was critically acclaimed with reviews in Billboard and The Village Voice and over the coming years it has been compared to the works of Paul McCartney and Van Morrison. However, due to lack of funding and mismanagement the album received no promotion and failed to sell propelling it to holy grail status.\u003cbr\u003eThe work has a lavish, orchestral, production with a baroque, neo-classical feel sited as “Pre-Raphaelite Rock” and reflected in the cover art by Canadian musician and graphic artist Paul Weldon (known for his work with Funkadelic and Rush). Perhaps a simpler and more accurate retrospective review courtesy of Bryan Thomas of AllMusic is “one wonderfully Tender album”. It is the “tenderness” in the lyrical content that has earned comparisons to the much-vaunted English Folk artist Nick Drake. Whatever the comparisons and influences, ‘Give Me Take You’ stands alone as a unique and heartfelt legacy album and an essential part of any sixties British rock collection.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charly","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":53483481235787,"sku":"R1852-9783","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/2000x2000bb_b28a6310-aa8d-40bb-be03-42d95632bacb.jpg?v=1758909243"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/duncan-browne.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
