Second Tier early 70s UK Progressive Rock Bands

Spectrums first two albums Spectrum Part One and Miles Ago are well worth consideration IMHO.

Kenethlevine - thank you for your contributions to this thread. Very nice list! Some of them I've never heard before, so I will definitely check them out (Paul Brett Sage, Nigel Mazlyn Jones, Tir Na Nog, Pererin). There are some excellent bands/albums you listed that are on my Top favorite second tier British bands: Spring, Gracious, Beggars Opera, Jonesy, Fuchsia. And the rest, some of them I haven't played for years. Thanks for reminding me about these albums. It's time to revisit them. 

As far as I know Palladin only released two albums, a self titled debut and "Charge". 

Looking at the track listing of "Jazz Attack" there are similar titles such as "Anyway" from "Charge" and  "Third World", "Carry Me Home" and "The Fakir" from the debut but they mostly seem to be updated re=recordings of the first album, particularly given that "The Fakir" was originally a single track and on "Jazz Attack" it appears to be broken up into two songs "The Fakir I" and "The Fakir II" as is the case also with "Third World".

I can't be sure about that but I would certainly like to get a hold of "Jazz Attack" to check  the album out for myself.

Anyway, here's Mix you Mind with the Moonbeams by Paladin - YouTube from "Charge".

my pleasure.  I have reviewed all of them and you can get a sense of whether you might agree or disagree from my critiques

Quicksand 'Home is where i belong'.. great band from South Wales

Marsupilami cos they were great and they lived and practised on a farm very near where i grew up!

Stackridge.. again a great West Country band.. 2nd tier?? Hmm a bit underrated in my view.. those first two lps are just essential.

Mellow Candle

That Fuzzy Duck album is excellent IMHO. It's a real shame that they only released that one album.

I forgot to include it in my initial post. Very interesting and melodic jazz influenced progressive rock with  sax, clarinet, flute, organ and vibes besides usual instruments. Highly recommended!

Almost everyone who followed the top prog-rock bands knew about Refugee and Greenslade too.

I had Refugee album and 2 Greenslade albums (Bedside Manners Are Extra, Spyglass Guest( taped from Polish radio station on those large 7 inch reel magnetic tapes, few months after they were released. The copyright laws weren't obeyed in Poland, so you could hear and tape entire albums from the public radio. There were no records stores in Poland selling foreign LPs in 70's or 80s. Only Polish record labels had their stores selling LPs recorded, pressed by them. They only way to discover new music was through the radio, word of mouth and record conventions. Warsaw had a large flea market where small area was designated for record collectors. How these people obtained the LPs? Either purchased abroad by family members or mailed by a friend/cousin. Only government officials, high ranked university professors, journalists, radio/tv personalities, sportsmen/sportswomen, musicians (by permit) were allowed to travel abroad. I was lucky, my close friend from high school had a university professor in the family who travelled often to Germany for different conferences. I used to give him small lists of LPs to purchase if... I had some extra cash.
