Adventures Of Keith

2008 reissue, the first time on CD for this overlooked British Pop gem, originally released in 1969. a striking set which tells the story of a boy, Charley Cinders, who is born [Waiting to Be]; he's blind [Alone on the Shore]; the trials and tribulations he has to deal with [Marstrand, China Clipper, The Problem, Elea-Elea, Trixon's Election] and ultimately his own demise [Charley Cinders]. in production the music speaks loudly of Keith's British Pop influences and the arrangements twist and turn in such a way that they could only be from a songwriter enthralled with Sgt Pepper. All of which explains why the Adventures of Keith fell through the cracks in mainstream 1969 America, only to become a highly sought-after soft rock collectable in recent years. RPM.
