GLENCOE - "AIRPORT"

Airport  (Graham Maitland - Reed) - 5:00  rating: **** stars

Too progressive to appeal to hard rock fans; too hard rock to appeal to progressive fans ...  Such was the fate for the short lived Glencoe.   'Airport' stands as a great example of how these guys simply fell in the early-'70s musical chasm between those different genres.  Shame since the song had everything you look for in a good tune - catchy melody; sweet vocals, nice arrangement, and even a sly little nod to The Beatles' 'Hey Bulldog'.  It was tapped as a UK single: 

- 1972's 'Airport' b/w 'It's' (Epic catalog number S EPC 1187)
