LOVE SCULPTURE ~ BLUES HELPING EMI 99416 ~ UK ~ Blues 1st album from 1968 by this UK Blues trio with sensational guitar playing by Dave Edmunds, who unfortunately later in his career aborted his great gift for blues. The material is pretty standard (except a great version of Summertime), but the performance absolutely brilliant. Blues guitar fans still wet their lips hearing this after all these years.

LOVE SCULPTURE ~ FORMS AND FEELINGS EMI 99768 ~ UK ~ Blues 2nd and last album from 1970. On this one the band leaves behind the simple blues formula and moves into more experimental ground with slelf-penned material and two covers of classical pieces, one of which (Sabre Dance) produced an unexpected mega hit for them. Edmunds` guitar work is brilliant and gutsy, a delight for the Gibson sound fans.
