  | FLOCK ~ FLOCK ROCK – THE BEST OF THE FLOCK
BGO 838 (Barcode: 5017261208385) ~ USA ~ Brass Rock
Recorded: 1969 - 1970 Released: 2008
First a very important explanation why a "Best Of…" album would be considered at all to be placed on my site, as my loathing of the very idea of a "Best Of…" album is commonly known. Well the album´s title is somewhat confusing; the CD does include some of the material included on the first two original FlockFind albums by this artist albums: the eponymous debut and "Dinosaur SwampsFind albums with this title", but the "real" sensation is the inclusion of previously unreleased material recorded by the group for their third Columbia album, entitled "Flock RockFind albums with this title", which was abandoned after being rejected by the label. They are all here – superb instrumental pieces, which show the direction the group wanted to take and of course a most valuable addition to the group´s limited recorded output. Led by violinist Jerry GoodmanFind albums by this artist, Flock were definitely one of the most interesting Jazz-Rock Fusion ensembles at the time and alongside Blood, Sweat & TearsFind albums by this artist, ChicagoFind albums by this artist and ChaseFind albums by this artist revolutionized music as we know it. People who already own the two albums will get this for the bonus material and those who don´t, have now a splendid opportunity to get exposed to some of the best Fusion ever recorded!
