The Flying Circus "Scarborough Fair-Canticle"1973 Aussie Prog Country Rock

2015-02-21 91

taken from the first album The Fying Circus "Selftitled" 1969

A wistful, harmony-drenched folk-rock/soft psych gem from one of Australia's most criminally underrated bands, The Flying Circus, taken from their 3rd album - Bonza, Beaut & Boom Boom Boom. The album was released in 1971 in Australia on the legendary 'Harvest' label and seems to be their rarest album out of the 5 albums they released in their brief career.
• The album sees Oz veteran journeyman Sam See (Sherbet, Fraternity, Stockley See Mason, Farnham band, Goanna, now with Glyn Mason in Pardners)replacing the more overt country leanings of Red McKelvie. Sam brings a tougher rock edge to the pioneering country band's sound. But still with those brilliant songs by Doug Rowe, Sam & Co, and their trademark superb harmonies.
