There are no words to describe the hyper-productivity of what we might call, with no half measures, THE band of 2016: The Winstons, with this 7-inch, reach a total of three releases in just nine months, following the self-titled debut and last Spring “Live in Rome”. Considering each bandmember’s commitments – you know who they are: Enrico Gabrielli, Roberto Dell’Era and Lino Gitto – divided among their main bands and some extra collaborations, the result is even more surprising.
This 45rpm includes two songs. Side A contains a ‘winston-ish’ version of the popular “Golden Brown” by The Stranglers, while as a B-side we find a brand-new song which brings us back to a magical 5-year period between 1967 and 1972, across psychedelia and progressive rock, two subjects that the trio dominates with a stunning spontaneity.
Recorded in a single day at Tilehouse Studios in London!

Non ci sono parole per descrivere l’iper-produttività di quella che potremmo definire, senza mezze misure, LA band del 2016: i The Winstons giungono con questo 7″ alla terza pubblicazione in soli nove mesi, dopo l’omonimo debutto e il “Live in Rome” della scorsa primavera. Considerati gli impegni di ciascuno dei tre componenti – Enrico Gabrielli, Roberto Dell’Era e Lino Gitto – con le rispettive formazioni principali e le collaborazioni extra, il risultato è ancor più sorprendente.
I brani inclusi in questo 45 giri sono due; il lato A contiene una versione ‘winstoniana’ della celebre “Golden Brown” degli Stranglers, mentre come B-side troviamo un brano nuovo di zecca, che ci riporta nuovamente in un magico lustro compreso tra il 1967 e il 1972, a cavallo tra psichedelia e progressive rock, materia che il trio padroneggia con una spontaneità da lasciare sbalorditi.
Registrata in un solo giorno presso i Tilehouse Studio di Londra!
The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper
This is a fantastic, cinematic listen of precise movements and virtuosic rhythmic switch ups. Zero dull moments, a rollercoaster ride of prog rock. Egg Wizard
