WHITE FACED LADY was their last album, recorded in 1971 partly with the help of Mike Pinder, from THE MOODY BLUES. The album was a conceptual double-album with many orchestral arrangements. The band had a deal with Vertigo at that time, but the responsible quit Vertigo and moved to CBS. So they were to release it on CBS, but CBS refused to release their album and it stayed shelved for twenty years, being released in 1991 by a label they created just to release the album, Kaleidoscope Records, under the name of KALEIDOSCOPE, although recorded under the FAIRFIELD PARLOUR encarnation of the band. The band split in 1972 due to the lack of results and luck (they were offered less than 20 dollars to play the last gigs). So this was the end of this great psychedelic and progressive rock band which had talent to be one of the major progressive rock acts of their age but died prematurely due to bad luck in the crucial moments. It is highly recommended because they were one of the first progressive rock bands that evoluted with the genre and made a fantastic work, mainly their excellent conceptual album 'White Faced Lady'.

There are people, who call this progressive rock. Well, it ain't!!
( Оставляю жанр и стиль с большинства коммьюнити))
Although this was planned to be released in 1971 (but wasn't for strange reasons back then), the sound of this recording was stuck deeply in the late 60's with its English psychedelic pop and rock feeling. Quite a nice album, but nothing to sell your house for.

Very interesting liner notes in the 24-page booklet, by the way. The tragic story of a band, that obviously wasn't destined to really make it big.
