The Battered Ornaments - Mantle-Piece (1969)

Formed by Cream lyricist Pete Brown, The Battered Ornaments were a mixture of English jazz, blues, and psych rock in the late 60s. By the time they got around to recording their sophomore album Mantle-Piece, Brown was out of the band, yet they recorded his songs and sang his parts. 

Formé par le parolier de Cream Pete Brown, The Battered Ornaments était un mélange de jazz anglais, de blues et de psych rock à la fin des années 60. Au moment où ils se sont rendus à l'enregistrement de leur deuxième album Mantle-Piece, Brown ne faisait plus partie du groupe, mais ils ont enregistré ses chansons et ont chanté ses parties.
