Description:

A new expanded, remastered four CD clamshell boxed set by the legendary progress/jazz rock group, Affinity. The bandâ??s origins go back to 1965 at the University of Sussex in Brighton when Lynton Naiff (keyboards), Grant Serpell (drums), and Nick Nicholas (double bass) formed the US Jazz Trio to perform at University events and local gigs. When Serpell graduated a year later he was replaced by Mo Foster who had earlier been playing bass guitar in his school band but had now switched to drums. Affinity soon began to attract a lot of favourable media attention and signed to the newly formed Vertigo label in 1969. Their eponymous debut album, produced by John Anthony, appeared in 1970. Thanks to outstanding tracks such as â??Three Sistersâ??, â??Night Flightâ?? and imaginative covers of Bob Dylanâ??s â??All Along The Watchtowerâ?? and Alan Hullâ??s â??I Am And So Are Youâ?? (featuring a brass arrangement by Led Zeppelinâ??s John Paul Jones), Affinity received excellent reviews, with the Sunday Times praising the playing of organist Lynton Naiff and vocalist Linda Hoyle. -

Affinity is the self-titled debut album by the British progressive rock and jazz-rock band Affinity, originally released in 1970. This CD edition from Repertoire Records brings back to life a classic gem of early '70s music, blending intricate jazz influences with powerful rock elements. The band's sophisticated arrangements and dynamic performances are evident throughout tracks like "I Am and So Are You" and their celebrated cover of "All Along the Watchtower." Affinity's only studio album has become a cult favorite among collectors for its innovative soundscapes and Linda Hoyle?s distinctive vocals. The group was formed by students from Sussex University, quickly gaining recognition for their technical prowess before disbanding shortly after this release. Repertoire Records is renowned for high-quality reissues of classic albums across genres, ensuring that timeless works such as Affinity remain accessible to new generations of listeners.
