Jigsaw (1970) Blow Blow Thou' Winter Wind - LOST 70s GEMS

From 1970's Letherslade Farm album, pop disco behemoths Jigsaw started as a psych pop band, but with some funkiness thrown in indicative of their future and Des Dyers distinctive tenor. Say Hello To Mrs Jones is a gentle Moody Blues type of organ and mellotron drenched pop ballad starting with a increasing tremolo effected grasshopper chirp before adding ethereal guitars to a generic Cream lite psych rock tune. Blow Blow Thou' Winter Wind has the first signs of their later predilection for funky disco pop with wah wah and sax/ James Brown driven funk clashing with the quirky English Prog harmonies though the ghostly overdriven hammond organ solo really works, there is also some delicious blues guitar solo full of sweet countrified slides and some storming saxophone parts that are as majestic as trumpets.
