Fuzzy Duck - культовая британская группа, выпустившая единственный LP. Причем, тираж альбома составил, по разным данным, всего, от нескольких десятков, до 500 (по АэМГэ) пластинок!
На CD он переиздавался дважды и оба раза на самых, ИМХО, солидных коллекционных лейблах - Repertoir Records и Akarma, что для меня, лично, уже само по себе является достаточной рекомендацией.
О стиле, думаю, лучше всего сказано в статье из ПрогрессоРа - ...it must be said that the band played a very original music, successfully combining the energy of Deep Purple with the intricacy of Yes...
...Overall, this is a blend of Classic Art-Rock and Hard Rock...
C моей точки зрения, столь мощных альбомов в истории рока было очень и очень немного. Поэтому, наверное, можно согласиться с резюме той же статьи на ПрогрессоРе:
...Summary. Frankly, "Fuzzy Duck" is a very strong and original album. I find it much better than many of the other albums that were released in 1970, including those by Focus, Colosseum, Hawkwind, Wishbone Ash, and even Yes. Fuzzy Duck had everything to become the cult band - at least like the same Hawkwind and Wishbone Ash. I can't find any info on the band, but anyway, I regret that they didn't continue their musical career. Doubtless, if the "Fuzzy Duck" LP would've been properly released and distributed, it would have been one of the most popular albums at that time.
Лучше, ИМХО, не скажешь!
Очень рекомендую любителям прото- и просто прогрессива, да и почитатели раннего Purple, уверен, не будут разочарованы.

Скопированный текст:

Formed in 1970 and based in North London the original line up consisted of guitarist/vocalist Grahame White, ex-Andromeda, bassist Mick Hawksworth, organist Roy Sharland and ex-Tucky Buzzard drummer Paul Francis. Managed by Gordon Mills, who also managed Tom Jones and Gilbert O'Sullivan, Fuzzy Duck signed to MAM Records, a subsidiary of Decca, and recorded their self-titled debut LP (MAM LP 1005). However just before the album was released White left (later turning up in Capability Brown, Krazy Kat and Jackie Lynton Band) and was replaced by Garth Watt Roy. His first recordings with the band came via the "Double Time Woman"/"Just Look Around You" single (MAM 37) released in August 1971. A second single "Big Brass Band"/"One More Hour"(MAM 51) was released in November 1971 but by the end of the year they decided to go their separate ways.
Garth Watt Roy teamed up with his bassist brother Norman to form the Greatest Show On Earth who released two albums, "Horizons" and "The Going's Easy", for EMI's progressive Harvest label. Since then he's recorded with the likes of East Of Eden, Limey, Marmalade, Steamhammer, Bonnie Tyler, Barbara Dickson, The Barron Knights and was also a founder member of The Q Tips. Mick Hawksworth went on to work with Matthew Fisher before teaming up with Alvin Lee for The Ten Years After LPs "Rocket Fuel" and "Ride On". Drummer Paul Francis went on to work with Tranquillity, Maggie Bell, Mick Ronson, and Chris Spedding and has recently been touring with Steve Harley.
