Currently listening to … “Snafu” from “East of Eden”

I bought this CD, “Snafu”, after discovering that the tracks had been remastered, and the CD re-issued. The group, “East of Eden” and the album, “Snafu”, date back to the early 1970′s.

The music is of sentimental value to me in that a couple of the tracks, “Jig-a-Jig” and “Marcus Junior”, were amongst the very first vinyl singles I purchased as a youth. I still have that the vinyl, but, given that such things aren’t as conveniently played as ripped CDs, I haven’t touched it for years.

Some of the other tracks on the CD were new to me. Some are somewhat “strange”, perhaps “psychedelic”, and most certainly belong in the ’70s.

The band has been classified as 70′s rock but to me there are also elements of jazz, blues and electric folk.
