| Description | ORIGINAL UK 1973 DOUBLE VINYL ISSUE LP OF TWO SEPARATE ALBUMS ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 1968 & 1969 - YELLOW AND BLACK FIRST LABEL SOFT MACHINE's first two studio albums contain some of their best work. They demonstrate a progression from R'n'B psychedelia, increasingly heavily flavored by Mike Ratledge's free jazz improv tempered by modern serious music, towards their own idiosyncratic folk and jazz fusion. The first album is very much in the psychedelic vein. In the instrumental section of "Volume Two" they are found freely blending modern jazz with modern rock sensibilities, with more than a hint of heavy abstract stylings. The spikey folk-style song writing of Kevin Ayers, who left after the first album, blends seamlessly into the second, even without him. 1. Hope for Happiness 2. Joy of a Toy 3.
