Customer Reviews

Fantastic find
One of the Nice's two best albums. This is a radio show done just before Nice's first album was released. The group is the full quartet of Keith Emerson, David O'List, Lee Jackson and Brian Davison. The album is 41 minutes long and the sound quality is very good. There are extensive liner notes.

The group is more into jazz and rock at this time and hasn't yet gone off into art rock. The music is very lively and very edgy.

In the earlier versions of the Nice, David O'List is the real leader. There are great, searing guitar solos. There is fantastic interplay between guitar and organ.

The best thing on the album is the Charles Lloyd composition, Sombrero Sam. The version of Rondo here is the best on record. It has a very hard edge. I also like You Keep Me Hanging On, although the liner notes complain that it sounds too much like the Vanilla Fudge. The only "bad" track would be Thoughts Of Emerlist Davjack, which features horrendous singing from each of the members of the group.

The only Nice album I like better than this one is Elegy. The piano solo on Hang On To A Dream is the best thing Keith Emerson has ever done.

Like the girl on the back of the CD says, "Listen to the Nice".

The Nice - 'Swedish Radio Sessions' (Castle)
Six previously unreleased 'versions' of tunes from The Nice's repertoire.Liked every track here,rather it be their covers,Bob Dylan's "She Belongs To Me" or Vanilla Fudge's hit "You Keep Me Hanging On",as well as "Flower King Of Flies" and the outstanding performance of the twelve - minute progressive gem "Rondo". Sound quality is very good, so is the price. Be you a new fan, a completist or just someone who has nothing to do BUT seek out such 'keeper' compilations to add to your already extensive collection, 'Swedish Radio Sessions' is a should-have.
