MORNING REIGN Vinyl & CDs

Review: Timing is definitely everything in life. Just ask Morning Reign. This unearthed album, now around 50 years old, was never released at the time, but had it been there's every chance you'd be much more familiar with the band name in question. Instead, they only put out four 45rpm singles while still active, and disappeared with little fanfare and few tributes paid. Take it from us before you even hit play on the previews, that story is regrettable, and their obscurity a crying shame.

Critics tackling Taking Cover now it has finally made its way to the release schedule have pointed to Morning Reign setting precedents for garage rock, and the likelihood people would have been referencing them alongside the likes of The Doors and Eric Burdon had they managed to break through. A classic that took a long time to realise it.
