July was a
underground UK band from the 60s. They disappeared for ages and then came back
in 2011 and still play today. There was a great article on them in the Greek
Timemazine a couple of years ago. They released a new album of material called
Resurrection. The track on this 7” is an extended version of Can I go back
Again plus a slightly shorter demo version of the same song from that album. I always have my doubts about people spending
their money on something like this as it is a song you already have and now
just two slightly longer versions. There is a lot of music out there.. but the
collectors follow this label and they have to buy it… The sound production is
very clean and modern and not very 60s sounding but the song is a quite cool
experimental piece with some strangeness and a bit of throwback feel with sitar
twanging mixed with some electric guitar. A cool song for sure. The demo
version is more vocal driven and less refined for sure.
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
