A fantastical, grand-scale song that colored the British pop scene in the late 60s.
"Legend Of Xanadu" is a masterpiece that beautifully blends oriental exoticism with rock sounds, making it one of the most memorable works from the psychedelic boom of the time. Its lavish orchestral arrangements create a grandeur reminiscent of film music. Side B, "Please," takes a simpler approach, but still fully demonstrates the band's pop sensibility. Both albums are valuable records that showcase the diversity of British pop in the 1960s.
