I am going to repost some of my earlier blogs with new links starting with this vinyl rip of Pete Goalby's first band "Fable"
THIS IS MY OWN VINYL RIP
Liner Notes
FABLE - A BAND OF TODAY
Two or three months before this Album was made, a friend of mine rang to say that he had seen a group he thought I might be interested in. A tape of their songs was sent to me and immediately I was impressed not only with the bands writing talent , but also with their arrangements and musicianship. The group was 'of course' Fable. I was even more impressed when I saw them live; their sound separation was excellent and communication with the audience was immediate, all due to their superb stage presentation.
Having suffered for so long the era of the "35 minute riff groups" It was refreshing for me to hear a band with such a professional approach. The variety in their music makes this Album, in my opinion, a very listen able one indeed and for a band who have only recently formed there is little doubt their best is yet to come.
Every member of Fable has the ability to be a "Star" musician in their own right but because of each ones awareness to contribute to the overall sound,the music never becomes cluttered or colourless

You really made my day today. I bought the Fable record in september 1974 in a record shop in Haarlem The Netherlands, When I listend to the record I fell in love with this sublime music wich is as perfect as music can be. I took the record with me to visit a canadian girlfriend in Paris in october 1974.I lend her the record for her to listen to. She would return the record when we would meet again in may 1975. Unfortunatly her suitcase containing the record was stolen in Rome Italy so I never recieved the record.
ReplyDeleteI have been looking for years for this record without succes. Untill today when I found your internetsite. You have no idea what this means to me. Thank you again for your download service.
You made my day yesterday. I bought the same Fable record in october 1974 in a record shop in Haarlem the Netherlands. The same day I came out of the hospital where I had to stay for over six months due to a smashed up leg after I crashed my motorcycle into a Ford Mustang. When I listend to the record I more or less fell in love with the music. In april 1975 I went to Paris to visit a canadian girlfriend. I took the record with me for my girlfriend to listen to. She kept the record for a while while she promised to return the record to me when we would meet again. in July 1975. Unfortunatly het suitcase containing the record was stolen at the airport in Rome. So I never recieved the record back.
