The Beau Brummels - The Beau Brummels [CD]

The Beau Brummels - The Beau Brummels (Expanded Edition)

Revisit the momentous 1975 reappearance of The Beau Brummels in their original line-up, marking their first reunion since their 1965 debut, 'Introducing The Beau Brummels'. This eponymous record, produced by Ted Templeman and Lenny Waronker, remains one of rock history's greatest reunion albums, showcasing fine songwriting from Ron Elliott and the signature vocal work of Sal Valentino blending folk and country-tinged style. Though the album initially lacked the attention it deserved due to touring issues, this expanded CD edition offers a crucial reassessment.
