Creative Rock – Gorilla (1972) (24/96 Vinyl Rip)

The only re-release was a bootleg-CD from Germanophon, ripped from Vinyl in 1995. Apart from the fact that it's only in 16Bit/44kHz, it had less noise than this rip from a record used for over 40 years now.
The brass section makes you think of Blood, Sweat & Tears or Chicago, track 2 reminds me of Jane. Most lyrics are harsh criticism of the socio-political situation in the early 70s. What astonishes me a lot is the fact that, with one exception, these excellent musicians have never played in any other band. First I thought these names might be pseudonyms, but with their photo on the fold-out back cover that would have made little sense.
