Classic Rock / Pop Rock | Bonus Tracks

Long out of print and for the first time on one CD, Raven presents two classic albums by the highly regarded New York group STORIES - Stories (1972) and About Us (1973). Led by songwriters Michael Brown (who had already tasted fame with The Left Banke during the 1960s) and the golden-voiced Ian Lloyd, Stories brief but vibrant history is encapsulated in these two legendary records. The debut, Stories, combined the baroque intricacies of Brown's former group, The Left Banke, with a contemporary rock aesthetic. Their sound was still more pop than rock and comparisons with the Beatles, Badfinger and the Raspberries are inevitable. Includes the US Top 30 hit single `I'm Coming Home'. About Us is the band's tour de force, full of masterful pop songs, straight ahead rock and classically inspired art-rock vignettes. It also contains their US #1 hit, `Brother Louie', a ripping cover of the Hot Chocolate song. As a bonus we've added Stories rare, final single from 1974, `Another Love', on CD for the first time. These recordings will appeal to fans of inventive and tuneful pop/rock melodies with power-pop influenced vocal harmonies and classical/baroque keyboard flourishes. With 77 minutes of superb quality audio, plus color booklet featuring detailed liner notes and period photos.
