Ford Theatre - Time Changes (CD)

Original release 1969
Sealed !

Ford Theatre were one of the most promising and best US psychedelic bands of the 60's. A few months after the truly excellent 'Trilogy For The Masses' debut LP (from December 1968) they released another concept album for ABC Records - 'Time Changes'. Influenced by the recent works of The Beatles, The Byrds and Love, this slightly more commercial and unjustly underrated record was a kind of musical based on one man's life. The music itself was very diverse, and ranged from dark, atmospheric and ambitious tracks full of hard rock guitar-organ interplay, to much lighter sounds usually coupled with the lush sound of strings. This record (an early production by Bill Szymczyk) is especially recommended for those who like the classic 60's rock sound.
