Gryphon Gryphon CD

Digitally remastered edition of this 1973 album. Gryphon was one of the more unusual of the folk-rock groups to come out of England in the 1970s, mostly because they didn't confine their musical genre-melding to folk-rock. Spawned at the Royal College of Music, they started out making a name for themselves in folk-rock, but their classical training and their approach to composition, recording, and performance soon took them into the much bigger field of progressive rock, and eventually had them playing gigs in front of arena-size audiences. This, their debut album features more traditional sounding material than later years and with 2015 seeing the reformation of the band, 2016 is bound to be a Gryphon year as they are already set to headline many festivals throughout the year.
