A s a result of this the

£ 5 0 0 annual subscr ipt ion

"Let Your Love Flow'" - Warner

A H A P P Y , j o v i a l a lbum - that 's a s

f r o l i c ky as summer i t se l f , but an album

none the l e s s that w i l l get over looked by

many record buye rs . No t that the re ' s

anyth ing subs tan t i a l l y wrong w i th th is

c o l l e c t i o n of songs from the West C o a s t

B e l l a m y Bro the rs ; p roduc t ion , harmon ies ,

per formances and l y r i c s are a l l w e l l done.

Ye t the a lbum l a c k s that ' Je ne sais

quoi' that wou ld take it from average to

good.

The L P features many songs in West-

C o a s t rythm of 'Let Your Love Flow';

p leasan t numbers w i t h short c a t c h y , but

w e l l thought out , l y r i c s . One can ' t fau l t

the songs t hemse l ves excep t that they

are s l i gh t l y i n s u b s t a n t i a l , i n that I f i nd

it rather d i f f i cu l t to remember the numbers

when the reco rd ' s f i n i s h e d .

I found the B e l l a m y ' s rather add ic ted

to t h i s Wes t -Coas t rythm, a p i t y s i n c e

thei r c rea t i ve a b i l i t y shone through move

on the l e s s or thodox t r acks . T r a c k s l i k e

Best yet to come Cinema Living In the West, a ta le about wes te rn

gunf ighters s u c h as F r a n k and J e s s e

James, and Inside Of My Guitar let the

songwr i t ing ta len ts of D a v i d B e l l a m y

e x c e l and capture the Bro thers in terpret ive

s k i l l s w e l l . T h e s e two d i f fe r ing songs are

r i fe w i t h emot ion and s u c c e e d much more

than the ' S t a n d a r d ' W e s t - C o a s t rythm s o n g .

Another f ine s o n g , i n truth the a lbum 's

bes t , i s Let Fantasy Live. T h e p e n s i v e

mood of t h i s r ea l l y caught me, as d i d

the st rong v o c a l t reatment. T h e syn the­

s i z e d v o c a l s at the end were pa r t i cu la r l y

ingeneous and f u l l y i n keep ing w i th the

exp lo ra t i ve nature of the t rack.

In short , the B e l l a m y ' s have p roduced

an album that e v e n at i ts most ord inary

i s d e c i d e d l y unperfunctory, ye t f a i l s to

sh ine throughout. A s a debut a lbum for

Warners the L P i s a c red i tab le ef fort

and won ' t d i sappo in t too many. Y e t I

f i rmly b e l i e v e that the best of the

B e l l a m y s ' is s t i l l to come. T h e i r

c rea t i ve a b i l i t y , pa r t i cu la r l y D a v i d ' s , i s

ind ispu tab le bu t t h a s s t i l l to man i fes t
