Locomotive - We Are Everything You See (Reissue, Remastered) (1970/2003)

Locomotive, a Birmingham, England band formed in the mid 1960s, started their recording career with a soul-based ballad Broken Heart released on the Direction label in 1967. This was followed in 1968 by the reggae-influenced Rudi's In Love which scored the band a top thirty hit for their new label, Parlophone. By the time the follow-up single, the Hammond organ ladened Mr Armageddon, was released in 1969, the band had changed direction somewhat. A rather doomy psychedelic prog song punctuated with great slabs of brass, the song deserved to be a big hit but failed to catch the attention of the public and sadly flopped. An album was prepared for release but was inexplicably held back until early 1970 by which time the musical environment had moved on and We Are Everything You See was left languishing in the racks...
