1972 Albums

Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come > Kingdom Come

Artist: Kingdom Come
Label: Polydor
Catalog#: R 154082
Format: Vinyl
Country: United States
Released: 1972-10
Strawberry Bricks Entry: 
By the time Kingdom Come had gotten around to recording their second album, the band had slimmed down to guitarist Andy Dalby, organist Michael "Goodge" Harris and drummer Martin "Slim" Steer—all retained from their first album, Galactic Zoo Dossier. Bassist Phil Shutt, however, was new. Frontman Arthur Brown hadn't changed; and while the tracks approach a more linear presentation, the resulting self-titled album contains the same bizarre cut-up weirdness as their debut.

Bandstand > Family

Artist: Family
Label: United Artists Records
Catalog#: UAS-5644
Format: Vinyl
Country: United States
Released: 1972-09
Strawberry Bricks Entry: 
Not all progressive rock dealt with sci-fi fantasy, silver capes and airbrushed art; Family was proof positive of that. Their music lacked the overt virtuosity and accompanying pretentiousness of most prog rock music, but still contained more sophistication than most rock of the day. The previous year had been one of transition for the band. Released in March 1971, the compilation Old Songs New Songs contained remixes of songs from their prior albums, as the band had been unhappy with the originals. A new single "In My Own Time" b/w "Seasons" peaked on the UK charts at No.

Be Good To Yourself At Least Once A Day > Man

Artist: Man
Label: United Artists
Catalog#: UA-LA077-F
Format: LP
Country: United States
Released: 1972
Strawberry Bricks Entry: 
Following the success of Greasy Truckers Party, United Artists issued another live album, Live at the Padget Rooms Penarth, but at a reduced price and in limited quantities. A hit, it soared straight to the top of the budget charts in September. But recording their next studio album was proving to be unfruitful, leading, of course, to more lineup changes: Martin Ace left, while Deke Leonard was sacked; Clive John returned, but on guitar, bringing with bassist Will Youatt and keyboardist Phil Ryan from The Neutrons.
