Judgment aside for a moment (think we thought they were a bit straight and poppy to be fair they were underrated!) these guys can sing and play and check out the lead guitarist on the left ( and yes he IS playing his guitar left handed and more importantly still strung correctly and play like a trouper! Upside down! presumably he learned to play it like this, there are some . . . . rare but there are some!)
REFLECTIONS OF MY LIFE 1969

Totally agree Andy, thought they were greatly underrated. I loved this song. The left handed guitarist is Junior Campbell, who had a hit with a song called Hallelujah Freedom in the 70s. Apparently "Campbell's guitar solos on "Reflections of My Life" and "I See the Rain" are particularly outstanding; the latter was named Jimi Hendrix's favourite cut of 1967." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H1TBss1hW0
Wasn't it the News of the World which had something to do with their downfall - thought they covered a story of them with groupies and drinking and suchlike. Gosh, who would've thought, eh?!?!?
Keep up the good work, neighbour.
Always welcome Diamond Dave friend and neighbour! That is fascinating . . .I didn’t know any of that and the stuff on Junior Campbell is really intriguing, I struggle playing the right way up and the right way round so playing it obversely is astonishing, guess he just leaned that way. Love the Jimi reference! Thanks for dropping by neighbour!
