Gryphon - Gryphon

Prog/folk-rock band's 1973 debut reissued on vinyl LP!

Non-standard Prog act Gryphons made their mark by incorporating abandoned instruments and ancient classical elements in their work, giving their self-titled 1973 debut outstanding differences to standard rock fare. With co-founder Richard Harvey on recorders, mandolin, harpsichord and glockenspiel, and Brian Gulland on bassoon, crumhorns and vocals, backed by guitarist Graeme Taylor and drummer/percussionist Dave Oberlé, Gryphon expertly channeled contemporary English folk through forgotten medieval and Renaissance styles; unlike later rock-oriented work, Gryphon showcases the band's underworld beginnings.
