Much of this music appeared on the “progressive” imprints of major record labels such as EMI’s Harvest, Decca’s Deram and Philips Records’ Vertigo and the emerging independent labels such as Charisma, United Artists and Island Records and led to an increasied presence of underground album music on BBC Radio One with its Sounds Of The Seventies and Top Gear programmes. On television the iconic series The Old Grey Whistle Test would be a major contributor to the success of many of these musicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1972 saw a wealth of imaginative artists continue to meld seemingly disparate musical genres and influences such as Jazz, Blues, Folk, Rock and Classical music on a host of wonderful albums, all of which appealed to an audience of students and followers of the “underground’ culture. Universities and Colleges were regular venues on the burgeoning live music circuit in the UK for these artists, most of whom earned loyal followings through regular concert performances both in Britain and in Europe. It was also a year when many of these performers gained commercial success with acts such as Family, Free, Hawkwind and Thin Lizzy enjoying singles chart success while Emerson, Lake And Palmer, Procol Harum, Ten Years After, Uriah heep, Wishbone Ash and Yes would enjoy considerable album chart success in the UK, USA and Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDISC ONE:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Hoedown – EMERSON LAKE \u0026amp; PALMER\u003cbr\u003e2 Time Take My Life – ATOMIC ROOSTER\u003cbr\u003e3 Get Out of Bed \/ There’s Nobody There \/ Side by Side – EDGAR BROUGHTON BAND\u003cbr\u003e4 Medicine Man (single version) – BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST\u003cbr\u003e5 Marie Antoinette – CURVED AIR\u003cbr\u003e6 Skin Valley Serenade – SKIN ALLEY\u003cbr\u003e7 Swamp Fever – OPEN ROAD\u003cbr\u003e8 Don’t Ask Me – LINDISFARNE\u003cbr\u003e9 Songs Out of Clay – AL STEWART\u003cbr\u003e10 Sheep Season – MELLOW CANDLE\u003cbr\u003e11 Epic Forest – RARE BIRD\u003cbr\u003e12 My Friend the Sun – FAMILY\u003cbr\u003e13 Do You Believe in Magic (single version) – NEKTAR\u003cbr\u003e14 Seven by Seven (single version) – HAWKWIND\u003cbr\u003e15 And You and I – YES\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDISC TWO:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Time Was – WISHBONE ASH\u003cbr\u003e2 A Winter’s Tale – JADE WARRIOR\u003cbr\u003e3 The Love In Your Eye\/To Catch Me A Brother\/Subsultus\/Debouchment\/Tilbury Kecks – CARAVAN\u003cbr\u003e4 Brainstorm – HAWKWIND\u003cbr\u003e5 Theme One – VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR\u003cbr\u003e6 Reaffirmation – HELP YOURSELF\u003cbr\u003e7 Burlesque – FAMILY\u003cbr\u003e8 O Caroline – MATCHING MOLE\u003cbr\u003e9 Conquistador (live) – PROCOL HARUM\u003cbr\u003e10 Lost Tribe – BOND \u0026amp; BROWN\u003cbr\u003e11 Speed Queen Of Ventura – VINEGAR JOE\u003cbr\u003e12 Wishing Well – FREE\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDISC THREE:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 The Wizard – URIAH HEEP\u003cbr\u003e2 Prologue – RENAISSANCE\u003cbr\u003e3 Chilly Morning Mama – EDGAR BROUGHTON BAND\u003cbr\u003e4 American Mother – HELP YOURSELF\u003cbr\u003e5 Love Is Good – PRETTY THINGS\u003cbr\u003e6 Turn It All Around – RARE BIRD\u003cbr\u003e7 Blowin’ Free – WISHBONE ASH\u003cbr\u003e8 Bananas – MAN\u003cbr\u003e9 Blue Angel – DAVE COUSINS\u003cbr\u003e10 See the World (Through My Eyes) – VINEGAR JOE\u003cbr\u003e11 Lady Of The Lake – JADE WARRIOR\u003cbr\u003e12 Stranded – KHAN\u003cbr\u003e13 Whiskey In The Jar – THIN LIZZY\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDISC FOUR:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Two Weeks Last Summer – DAVE COUSINS\u003cbr\u003e2 Nick’s Seven – SKIN ALLEY\u003cbr\u003e3 Choo Choo Mama – TEN YEARS AFTER\u003cbr\u003e4 Hellbound Train – SAVOY BROWN\u003cbr\u003e5 Peter – PRETTY THINGS\u003cbr\u003e6 Rip Off Train – PRETTY THINGS\u003cbr\u003e7 Instant Kitten – MATCHING MOLE\u003cbr\u003e8 The Boys In The Band – GENTLE GIANT\u003cbr\u003e9 Midnight Moses – SENSATIONAL ALEX HARVEY BAND\u003cbr\u003e10 Walk Don’t Run – PINK FAIRIES\u003cbr\u003e11 Ricochet – JONESY\u003cbr\u003e12 When The City Sleeps – BOMBADIL\u003cbr\u003e13 Desolation Valley\/Waves – NEKTAR\u003cbr\u003e14 Melinda More Or Less – CURVED AIR\u003cbr\u003e15 Hollow Stone – KHAN\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Esoteric Recordings","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50483849494859,"sku":"1147832","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/06b8dd31-71ab-45ea-ae73-2d9cd2e7a6c7_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727574444","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/blowing-free-underground-and-progressive-sounds-of-1972","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
