ITALIAN IMPORT: 2CD UNIQUE 5 FOLD PACKAGE 20 BIT MASTERING (INDIVIDUAL CDS OF EACH ALBUM ARE ALSO AVAILABLE)

This 2CD compilation contains the complete four albums released by premier 1967 Boston artist, Orpheus. Orpheus music spanned the broadest spectrum of all the Boston Sound artists. Their first major hit, "Can’t Find The Time To Tell You”, which after 35 years still remains a standard, was most-recently featured in Jim Carrey’s motion picture “Me, Myself & Irene”, performed by Atlantic artist, Hootie & The Blowfish, and has had at least a dozen other covers. As live performers Orpheus toured regularly with The Who, 10 Years After, Blood Sweat and Tears, Janis Joplin, and Cream. Their vocal sound and unique harmonies ranked them #10 in the 1969 Playboy Best Vocal Album Poll for their second album “Orpheus Ascending” which includes outstanding singles such as "I'll Fly", the group's live show-stopper,"Borneo" and "Just got back". For the 3rd album, "Joyful”, well known songwriters contributed specially written material such as the haunting album/chart single "Brown Arms in Houston" written for them by lyricist Joe Henry, John Denver's co-writer, and the cross-pop/gospel, "By The Size of My Shoes" written for them by "Rhinestone Cowboy" composer, Larry Weiss. The song "Joyful/Of Enlightenment" concludes an all too brief but lasting chronicle of the beauty of the original Orpheus group. After this third Orpheus album was released, the original group broke up. Two years later, original lead, Bruce Arnold and Orpheus writer Steve Martin formed the basis of what became the 4th Orpheus album, an extraordinary mixture of old and new. Steve Martin (not heard until the 4th album) had written Door Knob Song, Music Machine, and Congress Alley for the early group, and fit into the group’s end period with the majority of the album’s songs and its musical progression and ultimate end. Martin's poignant, Tomorrow Man, on the 4th album signified a looking back then moving on.
