GREENSLADE
Large Afternoon – Expanded Edition ESOTERIC
Dave Greenslade and co’s reunion LP remastered and expanded.
When Greenslade rebooted in 2000, a quarter-century after the classic line-up’s final LP Time And Tide, fans couldn’t believe their luck. After a 1993 reunion with his similarly-esteemed pre-Greenslade band Colosseum and subsequent touring, founder/keyboard whizz Dave Greenslade’s mind eventually turned to re-forming the act that bore his name. Original bassist Tony Reeves had been part of the Colosseum reunion, too, but as Greenslade began work on their comeback LP Large Afternoon, former Asia man John Young replaced original frontman Dave Lawson on vocals and second keyboard, while Chris Cozens succeeded drummer Andy McCulloch, who had by that point all but quit music to pursue a passion for sailing.
