A Christmas present event from Bravo magazine, December 20th, 1971

Second round in the big BRAVO Christmas Bazaar — again three rock bands give you presents:

Nicely packaged and full of flair

This time Deep Purple, Rattles and Mungo Jerry have packed mysterious packages with great gifts for their fans! Every BRAVO reader can wish for one of them. Which surprises are involved and how you get them is on the next page

The big BRAVO Christmas Star Bazaar II:

You can win that!

Write your wish for a present (not the name of the star!) on a postcard. Send this card to BRAVO-Star-Bazar II, 8 München 13, Postfach 702. Don't forget to clearly write your return address. The deadline for entries is December 26, 1971. Each BRAVO reader may only send in one wish card for each Bazaar episode.

[julio-viernes]

Una de las 10 canciones del único álbum entero de The Good Earth, el grupo de Ray Dorset y Colin Earl previo a Mungo Jerry, para el sello Saga. Ese mismo año metieron también 4 canciones en el split LP “Swinging London”, compartido con The First Impression. 

“Memphis Leather” es puro rhythm and blues, el resto del disco bascula entre el swinging pop y el rock y no está nada mal (”Let Me Come Into Your Party”, “That´s The Life”). Pero casi prefiero las versiones que hicieron Macon Jug de The Good Earth a raíz del éxito de “In the Summertime“ de Mungo Jerry. 

Lo han adivinado, así se llamó el LP de Saga de explotación de Mungo Jerry: “In The Summertime”, con Macon Jug versionando 10 canciones de Good Earth, más el consabido archi éxito de los Mungo y 2 originales de The Good Earth cerrando cada una de las caras. Lioso pero resultón.

Un raro disco que sabe a un poco a mod de finales de década.
