Rose, Tim
Love, A Kind Of Hate Story
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1970 Green Label Stereo Original. Clean Cut Out Hole. Strong VG+/++ Copy. "A Middling Album, Produced By Shel Talmy, And A Little Heavier On The "Rock" In Folk-Rock Than Rose's 1960s Recordings Were. In Fact, The Backing Band Is Rumplestiltskin, A Talmy-Formed Supergroup Of Session Players Including Herbie Flowers On Bass, Alan Parker On Guitar, And Clem Cattini On Drums. Rose Sounds Like A Minor-League Joe Cocker On "Ode To An Old Ball," But Gets Into More Original, Moody Melodies On "I Know These Two People," With Its Harpsichord, And "Sympathy." "Dim Light A Burning" Has Some Of The Same Riff-Driven Urgency Found On One Of Rose's Most Famous Tracks, "Morning Dew." Still, In All, It's The Work Of A Secondary, Though Not Mediocre, Rock And Folk-Rock Singer-Songwriter. All Of The Songs Are Available On The RPM Reissue Tim Rose & Love, A Kind Of Hate Story, Which Also Includes All Of The Songs From His 1972 Tim Rose Album." AMG Review By Richie Unterberger.
