| "In the mid-seventies, Quatermass were once again an ongoing capacity. I (think I) recall a concert review which mentioned the dreaded word 'funk'... and I have a feeling they were backing Shawn Phillips and doing a warm-up support slot on their own; Gustafson and Robinson with Barry de Souza on drums. They recorded twice with Shawn, Furthermore (A&M AMLH 68278, 1974) features the whole band, whereas Rumplestiltskin's Resolve (AMLH 64582, 1976) features the three on one track (presumably a leftover?), but Robinson as player and arranger on the whole thing. Paul Buckmaster also arranges a bit. They Call Me Geordie by David Garriock (CBS S 80522, 1975) features Gus, Rob and de Souza on People Get Ready. Geordie Garriock was lead singer with Liverpudlians Red Squares who came to Scandinavia in 1965 and topped the charts here continuously. Dares one presume he ran into Gustafson in Liverpool? His solo LP was produced by Anders Henriksson in Sweden which is another link. Anders was fifth member of Swedish top group Tages and produced 99% of their output while adding George Martinesque touches here and there. He crops up continually in a fashion reminiscent of Paul Shaffer..." |
