Tea & Symphony (The English Baroque Sound 1968-1974)

New Vinyl Blue Double LP, Gatefold

The English baroque sound of the late 60s and early 70s shunned guitar solos for string quartets and woodwind, drenched in summer-into-autumn melancholy, as heard on this collection of the genre’s finest moments. Just add a harpsichord, a pot of tea, and a ginger cat on a windowsill.
