The Steve Brown Band – Soul Full of Sin (CD)
Product Details
Newcastle's progressive underground produced plenty of bands that deserved wider attention but never caught the right break, and the Steve Brown Band stands among the more compelling cases. Signing to Transatlantic in 1973 placed them in genuine company, as that label was home to some of Britain's most adventurous folk and prog acts of the era. Six tracks across nearly five decades of waiting is a long time coming.
Seelie Court - the world's premier label for rare and previously unreleased archive recordings of underground folk, rock, proto-metal, and psychedelic music presents The Steve Brown Band. Formed in Newcastle, England, the band built a strong regional reputation through extensive live performances. Emerging from a progressive rock background, the group incorporated jazz rock elements, favoring extended compositions, complex rhythms, and poetic lyricism. Early line-ups evolved through the 1970s, with the band signing to Transatlantic Records in 1973, though a planned album was never released at the time. From 1973 to 1977, the group refined a sophisticated sound featuring saxophone and keyboards alongside guitar-led arrangements. Touring setbacks and management pressures later steered them briefly toward a more commercial direction. The band disbanded in 1977. In later years, original studio tapes were restored, resulting in the posthumous release Soul Full of Sin, documenting their intended 1973 album.
