CAPTAIN BEYOND


Beyond what, you may ask? Well, actually, they're a band (or were),
and were actually quite a good band, judging from their first album.
I picked up this CD through Amazon.com with a $10 gift certificate,
just browsed thru the $10 CDs, and liked the cover and the name.
Interestingly, it turns out the band had the original bass player for
Iron Butterfly(Lee Dorman), and also Larry'Rhino'Reinhardt who joined
Iron Butterfly at the same time as Mike Pinera of Blues Image (Ride,Captain,Ride).
And, the singer turns out to be the singer of Deep Purple MK1.
So the music turns out to be quite good, early 70s rock, nothing fancy, just
good old rock. Don't know why I never heard this in `72 when it first came
out, but better late than never.
