Gear Fab Rec. Oxfords : Flying up through the sky two (US,rec.1967-1971,pub.2007)*°°

When some time ago the only album, -"Flying Up Through The Sky"-, and singles of the Oxfords was going to be reissued, the original studio who still owned the master tapes had refused to cooperate in order to make it possible for a remastering of the master tapes for the project. When in 2006 the studio closed down, in fact all studio tapes were thrown away, but luckily were still saved by the group. Amongst other things them were discovered many forgotten tracks by the Oxfords, a collection big enough to fill another album. A lot of time was taken to mix and remaster the tracks properly for this release.

I didn't hear yet the previous LP reissue. Here, the group for me didn't really stand out of its time. The inspiration is rather light hearted, hippie-like, and hardly provides memorable songs or arrangements. The songs however still count, and sound more often as if being presented as a songwriter with band. When the vocal harmonies direct a bit more to the Mamas & Papas, I think the group sounds, mostly, at its best. They suited a style presentation exactly in keeping with their time.
