Sweet Thursday

British rock band Sweet Thursday was bursting with talent, led by former Bluesbreaker Jon Mark, with keyboardist Nicky Hopkins, who worked with the Stones and the Who, and guitarist Alun Davies, later a key collaborator of Cat Stevens. Their selftitled debut was a surefire inner that bit the dust when Tetragrammaton Records collapsed, turning a brilliant debut into a coveted rarity. This is a tasteful soft rock blend with some psych and blues shadings and plenty of nuance, as heard on ‘The Dealer’ and the ten-minute epic ‘Gilbert Street.’ Originals trade hands at staggering prices, so grab a copy of this long-lost gem now!
