The Third Ear Band were one of the earliest signings to EMI’s Progressive label Harvest Records. The band was formed in 1968 around a nucleus of GLEN SWEENEY (percussion), PAUL MINNS (oboe), RICHARD COFF (violin, viola) and MEL DAVIS (cello). Third Ear Band were unique in their exploration of exotic baroque music fused with experimental rock.
MOSAICS – THE ALBUMS 1969-1972 gathers together the three THIRD EAR BAND albums released by HARVEST in a clamshell box and is the ideal introduction to the band and their uniquely haunting and evocative music.
