Greenslade formed in November 1972 when bassist Tony Reeves got together with keyboard player Dave Greenslade. Both were original members of the musically similar Colosseum with Greenslade composing some of that band's best-known material. The Greenslade line-up was completed by ex-Episode Six and Alan Bown Set member Dave Lawson (keyboards/vocals) and Andrew McCulloch (drums) Greenslade's first two albums, released in 1973, revealed a complexity of arrnagements and melding of various musical styles and were critically well received. They were excellent examples of progressive rock. complete with Roger Dean designed cover art. By the time of the third album (Spyglass Guest) in 1974 the band had been joined by Colosseum renegade Dave Clempson (guitar, ex-Humble Pie) and Graham Smith (fiddle). Reeves left the band to be replaced by Martin Briley for a U.S. tour. The band split in January 1976 giving management problems as a reason. |
