I absolutely love this album. Crystal Palace and Think I Can't Live Without You are songs about my life at this time. Time Piece is a classic!

[@thomassmith8721]

A Molson Golden, a shot of Canadian Club and some Canadian psych music by The Churls. Each one will alter your mind.

[@Olegzyan]

it's a shame that such a great band is so obscure! they definitely deserve more recognition!

[@uvb74]

Rock and Roll puro

[@supermamamaxi]

Amazing album and very dear to a lot of musicians through the years. This is one of those bands that taught us all how to play. Brilliant! My favorite band from Canada.

[@michaelcraig9449]

Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush is way better.

[@vadzimaleksandrovic337]

Žyviè Biełaruś Viečna! Quite remarkable mixture pop-rock's sounds with psyche-rock's riffs imho

[@navnblues]

Good psychedelic riffs with some pop sounds from 60s. Like it.

[@electricchurchmusic4298]

Superb Music !!!

Very good music!

[@johnwilkerson2195]

Never heard of this group by l love 60s and 70s obscure music!

[@LukasMatejka-du5hb]

one of the earliest stages of Hard Rock...... brilliant album 👍👍

[@user-gl6pm9ox7k]

Really good point. I think this is one of the two main components of hard rock (Psychedelic rock getting heavier). The other is rock-blues riffs and arrangements. Do you agree?

[@user-gl6pm9ox7k]

Brilliant album indeed

[@scottbarker9058]

early grand funk was the precurcorrs 2metal.

[@briannewell6064]

What a cover shot. Sometimes you gotta set yourself on fire just to get noticed.

[@anarbaxsiyev9947]

[@user-gl6pm9ox7k]

Great! Thanks for sharing this treasure!

[@gregorallnight371]

Still very cool album...deceptively simple sounding but actually great young musicians playing well the very creative chord changes of well crafted songs...at times sound like early Stones as in The Weeks Go By which has jumpin jack flash riffs all through it

[@bassandguitarguy]

Wow! Timepiece - I've played Bloodrock's version since 1970 never knew this band existed till tonite - found on Geezerology site!

[@naiastra]

and now I've discovered Bloodrock, thanks to your comment! 😄

[@Beatedelic_Records]

"Timepiece" by the CHURLS is great!

[@proud098]

superb canadian psych!!!!!! I hear strong Cream influences.........loud psych solo guitar and bass.......here's a winner from north country.........they have another album on A&M worth hearing too.........TBDIH why dont you upload this too????

[@unclebrr8139]

"Send Me No Flowers", 1969 is of less interest than this one. Here one can see a lot of different styles merged together, on that one we have rather standard pop-rock.

[@Sygg-uj3ze]

Based churls

[@billgilmore5887]

Unfortunately for them at the time of this being released they received very little airplay on the Toronto stations for reasons that eluded me at the time.

[@Kalanchoe1]

wow! that first track is catchy as frig!

[@judebeeman7745]

Yeah but that brutal fadeout....yeesh. Just when it was getting extra good. Those were the days I suppose.

[@thewaryears]

Queen Churly

[@mitchmover3284]

These guys remind me a lot of The Nazz. Same time period. Coincidence?

+daniel clergeau, the churls have nothing to do with wishbone ash,the former is canadian,the latter is english.

[@ruchem71]

This is a good album.

[@terrylaban6835]

Usually albums by bands that are dressed like this suck but this one totally rocks.

[@proud098]

never judge a book by the cover................................

[@glgl1327]

Hey, never judge a rocker by his wardrobe.

[@marshall8408]

Anyone notice how much the guitar on this album sounds like the Flower Travellin' Band? He must be using the same set up as them. Check out Fish on a Line, Timepiece (also done by Bloodrock) and Gypsy Lee!

[@naiastra]

damn, this rocks so hard

[@balloonfarm5903]

Extras in a Renaissance Fair.😆Groovy sound, though.😎✌🏽☮️🎸

[@zombiestars42]

I want the same skirt.

[@user-jn3kp5td1p]

イケてるー。

[@STPfuzzDemon]

Opening lick of "Fish on a Line" mimics "Journey to Tyme" by Kenny & the Kasuals.

[@jackjc1447]

this album is slightly better than their second album 'send me no flowers',it's more cohesive,and the songwriting is better,'the weeks go by' is leaning too heavily on 'jumpin jack flash',firm favourites are 'eventual love','crystal palace' and 'where will you be tomorrow'(shades of the marmalade here),but their absolute best song is 'time piece',bloodrock did an excellent rendition of this song on their first album.

[@darwinblinks]

Some guys who ended up in a recording studio after they got lost on the way to Ren Faire

[@tweettweetie]

It’s a good album but to be honest I’m a little disappointed that they weren’t a medieval themed novelty boy band and all they’re songs weren’t written Shakespearean like, because to be honest that’s what I thought this was gonna be 😭. I like Princess Mary Margaret the most

[@nickmuravievsmusicpage3012]

Cool! Pretty good band! Pity never heard them before...

[@johnwilkerson2195]

On track 3 you can hear a little bit of Cream!!

[@jayapande00]

[@tomkeys457]

Could you please also post their other album, Send Me No Flowers?

They are like the kinks

They certainly stole from the Kinks with the intro to Fish On The Line. I mean Come On Now!

[@therealrodhull1]

Sounds quite British

[@milbury55]

Meet me by the pond outside my window😈😈😈😈

[@matthatter2849]

These guys are good, but with so many of these obscure albums from the late '60's, you hear that one element that kept the band from being great. The Churls rock....but their sound isn't very mature. It's like hard teenybopper rock. "Time Piece" is the one exception....THAT is a great track.

[@philiplread]

Well this a great surprise. I saw this group live in Toronto 1967 and felt then that they were something special. Wonderful flashbacks and memory.

[@389383]

I agree. Some people get caught up with the obscure and claim they are just as good as the big bands but all you need to do is put one of the big selling rock albums on and you hear the difference.

[@STPfuzzDemon]

@@389383 Disagree. Most of the 'Big Time' bands sound dated, "Classic Rock" dribble. Bands like this still sound underground and cool.

[@smoovegittar]

Weak songs but good players. Couple of rip-off riffs from Cream, Beatles and Hendrix, but what do you expect? Still some fun here.

[@aroenche428]

Time Piece is a Bloodrock cover, and Fish On A Line certainly has some Elevators riffs.

[@hairybreath]

@@aroenche428 No, Churls recorded the original version of Time Piece, 2 years before Bloodrock.

[@aroenche428]

hairybreath : Didn't know, thanks ..

[@jimmycain8669]

Bargain bin crap at best. It did not sell for a reason. Maybe their mommas bought copies.
