Trading Places present reissue of
The Dorians
's
Rock Concerto
, originally released in 1970. Obscure Canadian psychedelic rock band The Dorians was formed in 1968 in the town of Kingsville, Ontario, by singer
John Unger
and bassist
Bob Nixon
, formerly of
The Doomsday Machine
; guitarist/chief songwriter
Bill Loop
drafted esteemed drummer
Mike Betts
, who joined in September 1967 after playing with
Loop in Living Ends
. Since Kingsville lies less than an hour away from Detroit by road, the band began recording at noted soul spot, GM Studios, in 1969, working with the songwriter, trumpeter, and arranger,
Floyd Jones
. Early singles such as the catchy "Psychedelic Lipstick" were licensed to European labels, including
Giacomo Mazzini
's Swiss-based PDU, which issued their sole long player,
Rock Concerto
, in 1970. Although "Means And Ways" and "Good Love" are framed as easy-going psych driven by strong vocal harmony, "Torch Song" drifted into spaced-out territory via extended instrumental jamming, led by the parallel playing of bass, violin, and keyboards. This edition of the highly collectable LP includes bonus track "Worm Conquers All", taken from the "Torch Song" single B-side. 180 gram vinyl. Licensed by Cherry Red.
