The album was
the first title in the history of the tiny label Morgan Blue Town (known
connoisseurs with a collectable plates Pussy groups and Motherlight)
-founded by wziętego, session drummer Barry Morgan. Polly Perkins is as
happily ensconced as any EastEnders cast member could feasibly be in
such an unremittingly grim environment, holding down the role of Dot
Cotton’s sister, Rose. In 1969, however, she was one of the two lead
vocalists in a studiously unconventional jazz-folk quartet called The
Academy. One album the quartet Academy released in March 1969,contained
just twelve neatly arranged, but rather sparingly made songs that
combine elements of folk, jazz, and (to a very limited extent)
psychedelia. Of course, in a way it was a novelty, but back then,
incredibly rich in music exciting times you had to try harder to deserve
to be called a precursor. The band occurred two vocalists (including
gifted with clear voice Polly Perkins), and the instrumentation
consisted of electric and acoustic guitar, flute and saxophone. As you
can see, there was composed of drummer and it was a major flaw in all
this lovely music, as some fragments sounded almost like a demo,
including opening a whole, underdeveloped enroll With The Academy; jazzy
Polly Perkins Georgie Brown Loves You, and a little Jethro Tull The
Girl In His Mirror. The absence of drums and bass engenders an oddly
austere, parsimonious, claustrophobic atmosphere. However, special
mention deserves the typical folk, including captivating vocals. Line-up / Musicians Richard Corby/guitar Damon J. Hardy/vocals Polly Perkins/vocals Dick Walter/flute Discography(Album) Pop-Lore According to the Academy 1969
