Katch 22
It's Soft Rock And All Sorts
SPECIAL OFFER! Another hidden gem from the Saga budget catalogue is unearthed. Katch 22 were a bunch of young boys that
produced the UK answer to the US soft-rock scene. It is ironic that a UK band can be so influenced by those US bands
that were most highly under the influence of British popsike! Think of Harper's Bizarre, The Association, The Millenium
or Eternity's Children even higher on tea! A surprisingly good production for a Saga pop/psych LP, the album is built up
of excellent cover versions of some greats of the genre, paying tribute to the likes of The Left Banke ('Walk Away
Rene'), Simon & Garfunkel / Harper's Bizarre ('Feelin' Groovy') or even Buffalo Springfield ('Go And Say Goodbye') and
also of some good originals in the same vein. It is certainly an underrated period piece that deserves wider recognition
and a great sounding album of orchestrated (and non orchestrated) pop sounds. The album was originally issued on
Saga/Eros subsidiary in 1968, and the Wah Wah-reissue respects the colourful sleeve and reprints the original insert,
with sound remastered from the original tapes by Denis Blackham at Skye Mastering. Offered in a limited 500 copies only
edition!
