Buffoon - Lisa / Greetings. 1974 USA-Pittsburgh


Another week, another unknown prog rock single. Buffoon were from Pittsburgh and this appears to be their only output. Nothing is known about them. They're a bit early for the classic Midwest prog sound, and it becomes obvious the UK prog bands of the early 70s are the primary influence. One can hear Tony Kaye era Yes as well. Great organ, psychedelic guitar, and rough-hewn vocals define these two great tracks. 'Lisa' is the better of the two songs, but 'Greetings' is great too (and you can hear it on YouTube).


Ownership: SP: 1974 Asterik. Online acquisition.

5/4/20 (first listen); 8/6/20 (review / new entry)
