A four-hour compilation featuring big hits, key album tracks, cult classics and rarities from 1973. 1973 was another significant year in British pop, with the recent arrival of glam inspiring many underground bands to adopt a more streamlined sound. That more song-based approach helped give the 1973 singles chart a new energy, with memorable 45s from Mott The Hoople, Manfred Mann's Earthband, Faces, Status Quo, Medicine Head and Nazareth. Though they fell short of the charts, some of the era's more idiosyncratic singer-songwriter talents - Kevin Ayers, Al Stewart, Kevin Coyne - also issued much-loved, radio-friendly singles. On the live circuit, the UK free festival scene was dominated by a new hippie\/glam\/space rock convergence, with brand leaders Hawkwind joined by the likes of The Pink Fairies and Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come. Featuring all of the above names as well as Thin Lizzy, The Kinks, Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Caravan, Procol Harum, Stealers Wheel, Roy Wood, Rare Bird, Badfinger, Free, Family and many others, 'High In The Morning' is a fascinating three-CD, four-hour appraisal of the 1973 British rock and pop scene. Housed in a clamshell box that features a classic crowd shot from that year's Windsor free festival, 'High In The Morning' includes a 48-page booklet that's packed with rare photos, quotes and biographical information.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll the Way from Memphis (Album Version) - Mott the Hoople\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Joybringer - Manfred Mann's Earthband\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Surprise Surprise - Caravan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Marlene - Kevin Coyne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Sergeant Says - Spirogyra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wildfire - Rococo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Medusa - Dr. Marigold's\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Randolph's Tango - Thin Lizzy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Rum Tale - Procol Harum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Terminal Eyes- Al Stewart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e An Appointment with the Master (Single Version) - Bachdenkel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Star - Stealers Wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ragged Rain Life - Duncan Browne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e High in the Morning - Rare Bird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Birdman - Joe Soap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Urban Guerrilla - Hawkwind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love Is Easy - Badfinger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mr. Custer - Paul Brett\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e All the Fallen Teen Angels - Mouse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Towers - Mick Audsley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Too Hot to Handle (Alternative Early Mix) - Ducks Deluxe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pick Up the Phone - Patto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Do the Strand - Roxy Music\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Caribbean Moon - Kevin Ayers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e (I Don't Wanna Love You) But You Got Me Anyway - Sutherland Brothers and Quiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Travellin' in Style - Free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pale Green Vauxhall Driving Man - Prowler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Running Away - Duffy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Showdown - England's Glory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e On the Frontier - Shoot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Caroline (Album Version) - Status Quo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Award - Fantasy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Temple Song - Greenslade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Orange Song - Rupert Hine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rising Sun - Medicine Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dreams (Story of Our Time\/Beneath This Sky) - Ithaca\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hold on to Your Fire - Libido\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sweet Desiree - Family\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Legal Eagle Shuffle - the Spencer Davis Group\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Come Alive (Aka Slow Rock) - Kingdom Come\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e City Kids - Pink Fairies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dirty Dick - Streak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Buffalo (Full-Length Version) - Writing on the Wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Swampsnake - Sensational Alex Harvey Band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Broken Down Angel - Nazareth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 16 and Savaged - Silverhead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Man from Galilee - Fairfield Ski\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Girl Said to Me - Liverpool Echo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Always - the Big Three\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fool's Gold - Hemlock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pool Hall Richard - Faces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gold Medallions - Tucky Buzzard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e World - Curved Air\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Moving Moor - Complex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e English Morning - Jade Warrior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Don't Need Nobody - Shape of the Rain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Not Fade Away - Frank White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Forever - Roy Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I'll Always Be Your Friend - Byzantium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Out on the Road - Patrick Campbell-Lyons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bank Holiday - Brett Marvin and the Thunderbolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sitting in the Midday Sun - the Kinks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I'm Gonna Get You - Reform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall (Album Version) - Bryan Ferry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Do the Stanley - Stackridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50446010810642,"sku":"5013929191709","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/4115603.jpg?v=1729704972","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/various-artists-high-in-the-morning-british-progressive-pop-sounds-of-1973-various-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
