What makes Liberty special?

The early years sound like Hollywood: Julie London sings on “Julie” with her smoky, quiet voice, trombonist Si Zentner brings his big band on “Warning Shot”, and the Johnny Mann Singers stand for a big choral sound.

The British side is completely different: the band High Tide plays heavy, distorted rock on their 1970 album “High Tide”, and Gerry Rafferty released “Sleepwalking” in 1982.
