Room - Pre-Flight. CD. (Progressive Line - PL506) Reissue of an ultra-rare 1970 UK album on Deram. Room were an interesting mixture of rock with jazz and classical influences, the inclusion of strings and brass making for an eclectic mix. Nice guitars and female vocals also go to make this a fine piece of early progressive rock.

Room - Pre-Flight. LP. (Abraxas - AK375) 180 gram vinyl version of Room’s 1970 "Preflight" album which is a near-masterpiece of blues-influenced prog-rock with forays into jazz territories. Well-structured and punctuated by interesting time changes and a skillful use of wind and string instruments, they are definitely at least on par with label mates Leaf Hound and Mellow Candle. The guitar playing of Chris Williams and the remarkable vocal timbre of the singer also places the album a cut above many in the genre.
