This amazing album was recorded in a single December 1969 session (with noted CSNY producer Bill Halverson) and released in February 1970 by Atco Records. All the musicians from that band had worked previously with drummer Dewey Martin in his New Buffalo Springfield and the similarities with Stills/Young original group are very evident here. The LP features a stash of eclectic and very diverse material, impressive multiple vocal harmonies and the Springfield's trademark three-guitar assault - with plenty of fuzz! This band can be ethereal and dreamy or genuinely heavy. In other words it’s an astonishing mixture of West Coast rock and heavier, UK-influenced riff-rock, in addition devoid of any weak tracks! This carefully remastered edition has been expanded with one track from rare single.
"White Eagle" is an album of electronic music released by Tangerine Dream in 1982. It reached No.57 in the UK album chart in a 5-week run.
