Title:  Autumn to Spring

Date:  1973

Label:  Charsima/Buddah Records   CAS 1

Album Design:  Glen Christensen

Packaging:  Milton Sincoff

Notes:  Recorded between autumn '67 and spring '68 this record presents us with a pre-ELP Keith Emerson and his mates playing their vision of hard edged rock. With their sights set on the prog-rock horizon they were some of the first "rock musicians" with a classical bent to grace the college airwaves of the late sixties. A very simple cover with embossed leaves belies the complex nature of the music within. A good place to start your investigation into the Nice and their ilk. Here's an alternate label sent in from Hans.

Keith Emerson: keyboards
Lee Jackson: bass and vocals
Davy O'List: lead guitar
