Duncan Browne'S debut album 'Give Me Take You' was released on Immediate Records in August 1968. At the time it was critically acclaimed with reviews in Billboard and The Village Voice and over the coming years it has been compared to the works of Paul McCartney and Van Morrison. However, due to lack of funding and mismanagement the album received no promotion and failed to sell propelling it to holy grail status. The work has a lavish, orchestral, production with a baroque, neo-classical feel sited as "Pre-Raphaelite Rock" and reflected in the cover art by Canadian musician and graphic artist Paul Weldon (known for his work with Funkadelic and Rush). Perhaps a simpler and more accurate retrospective review courtesy of Bryan Thomas of AllMusic is "one wonderfully Tender album". It is the "tenderness" in the lyrical content that has earned comparisons to the much-vaunted English Folk artist Nick Drake. Whatever the comparisons and influences, 'Give Me Take You' stands alone as a unique and heartfelt legacy album and an essential part of any sixties British rock collection.
