Chelsea has nothing to do with the punk band of the same name from the late seventies. Nothing at all! Here a crude mix of rock, southern rock and folk is offered, recorded rather musty and in the middle frequencies it is like New York in rush hour. The recording quality roughly corresponds to the colors used for the cover. Washed out, dull and uninteresting. So no psy-pop pearl, no acid daddel, no masturbation fuzze. No nothing. So what was it that drove me to purchase this piece of vinyl?
Then it falls like dandruff out of my hair: Peter Criss, of course. The drummer from Kiss. Chelsea was his first band. And on closer inspection or listening, a small sensation emerges. John Cale actually plays the viola on "Long River" and "Good Company". John Cale was an icon even then; and I was a total Velvet Underground fan in the nineties. That'll be it. John Cale = good LP. How can you be mistaken? In any case, I heard this part for the second time today - and it will probably have been the last time.
