Editorial Reviews

First time on CD! This US power trio's sole album was released on both sides of the Atlantic in 1969, but sank without a trace. Equally influenced by blues, soul and acid rock, it's an enjoyable mixture of snappy hard rock songs and the lengthy ''Love Is The Word'' suite, which occupied a whole side of the original LP. Featuring backing vocals from Northern Soul legend Brenda Holloway and production by former Merry-Go-Round guitarist Bill Rinehart, it's a must for fans of Bluesy psychedelic rock. Fallout. 2006.

YES! I've waited a long time for this to come out on CD. Heavy psych acid rock, grinding guitars, this is the stuff folks! I originally stumbled on them many years back in the cut out bin and was blown away by their style/content. No disappointments here, buy it, you'll love it!

PS...Don't be fooled by the "other" Fields LP with the bird on it, not hardly the same group.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Fields - self-titled (Fallout), October 25, 2007

Originally released in 1969, this lp was The Fields only effort the power trio had ever put out. The album reportedly came and went like a thief in the night. Some might tag this CD reissue as 'acid rock'. Tunes I was most impressed with were "Bide My Time", "Take You Home" and the eighteen-minute {took up the entire second lp side} semi-experimental bluesy "Love Is The Word", which is worth the price of admission alone. Line-up: Richard Fortunato-guitar & vocals, Patrick Burke-bass & vocals and Steve Lagan-drums. Might appeal to some fans of Blue Cheer, Cream and Iron Butterfly. A decent pick.

2.0 out of 5 stars A word of warning..., September 24, 2007

If you buy this CD based on the 5-star reviews here, I'm pretty sure you WILL be disappointed. I'll give you Fields in a nutshell: if Cream had been significantly less talented and took a lot of quaaludes, they could have made this album. There's a very good reason why this recording is obscure: it deserves to be. These guys aren't even as good as Stained Glass. Save your money.
