British progressive rock record, originally released on the Sovereign label in 1973. Draws influences from early Yes and Wishbone Ash. Public Foot the Roman emerged on the Cambridge college scene during the early 1970s. They consisted of guitarist Greg Knowles, bassist Howard “Word” Tweddle, drummer Jamie Lane, keyboardist Dag Small, and singer, guitarist, and songwriter Sean Byrne. (Some sources on the internet claim that this is the same Sean Byrne as the Irish-born singer/guitarist of US garage rockers the Count Five, responsible for the 1966 hit “Psychotic Reaction.”)
The band was part of a select coterie of acts (Flash, Mouse, Renaissance) signed to Sovereign, the short-lived progressive division of EMI. Gatefold sleeve
