Greenslade is an eponymous studio album by British progressive rock band Greenslade, released on the Warner Bros. label in 1973, and their first album. The artwork for the album cover is by Roger Dean. The album has seven tracks comprising six songs and one instrumental with a vocal track.
The song "Feathered Friends" was issued as a promotional single, with "An English Western" and "Temple Song" on the B-side.[1] A second single, on general release was issued in May 1973 with "Temple Song" on the A-side and "An English Western" on the B-side.[2]
Reviewing the album, planetmellotron.com said, "The album is pretty laid-back, with big themes rather than particularly strong melodies, but they made a good noise, and really didn't sound much like anyone else."[3]
All music written by Dave Greenslade and lyrics written by Dave Lawson, except where noted.
Note: The timing for "Drowning Man" is incorrectly given as 6:40 on the sleeve of the original release.
