Pop Lore According To The Academy (1969)

Academy - Pop Lore According To The Academy (1969)

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this, the sole 1969 LP from The Academy including four bonus tracks. The album is a sparse slight jazzy Folk release with Psychedelic overtones. The main attraction is the clear voice of Polly Perkins and the interesting woodwind parts. Standout tracks are "Munching The Candy" and "Rachel's Dream", the latter starting sentimentally but incorporating a lovely Russian theme.
