A Most Distinguished Group from Enland The Nice!,
By
This review is from: Nice (Audio CD)
This was one of the first 'progressive rock' LP s i listened to many years ago on my mates Dansette in in England (Ask your dad what an LP and Dansette is and where England is on the map!). Those that remember these things will know you had to turn the things over to play the other side. BUT we never bothered with the first 4 tracks of side 1. The killer and standout track here is the live side 2. The stand out track being Rondo 69. This has always remained my favorite Nice track and captures what the Nice were, a really fabulous Live band. That organ sound that Emerson produces drives the trio along. No lead guitars see. She belongs to me, a Bob Dylan song, has Lee Jackson barking out the vocals, his bass guitar being the powerhouse with able support by Brian 'Blinky' Davison on the drums. This revamped CD comes with seven extra tracks live versions This helps swell the shortness of the original LP. Why the 3 stars? well any fan will tell you that the Nice never really 'cut the mustard' on LPs. The live shows were their forte and never was a term 'Showman' more apt for the knife throwing, Hammond organ abusing Emerson! Bad luck with their ill fated label Immediate and their sad breakup prevented the Nice from achieving their potential.
There are 3 versions of this CD kicking around. be sure you get the version with extra tracks which bump up the value. LPS could sometimes be a mere 40 mins long back in the late 60s!

THE NICE THIRD LP,
By JIM G. (FLORIDA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nice (Audio CD)
This is a great reissue. The mastering, booklet, and bonus tracks are all great. If you like the first two albums, then I recommend this. Tracks 1-4 are studio (side 1 of the original lp). Tracks 5-6 (side 2 of the original lp)are live from the Filmore East. Extensive workouts of Rondo and Dylan's "She Belongs To Me". It's on these two tracks where you hear the beginings of what was to become ELP. Emerson really shines.
This reissue is supplemented with five bonus tracks (live & BBC) which are great. The Nice were a very underrated band in my opinion. If you're an ELP fan you will love this. Early progessive rock for sure. |
