Description

Beggars Opera were a progressive rock band from Glasgow, Scotland, formed in Glasgow in 1969 by guitarist Ricky Gardiner.

Waters of Change is the second album by the Scottish progressive band Beggars Opera, published in 1971. With respect to its predecessor Act One, Waters of Change features a rather different sound, which is less derivative of The Nice and Deep Purple MK I, and it is often described as the band's best work. Ricky Gardiner - lead guitar, vocals, acoustic guitar. Martin Griffiths - lead vocal, Cow Bell. Alan Park - organ, piano. Gordon Sellar - bass and acoustic guitar, vocals.

The Mellotron, as found on "Waters of Change" had all but vanished. Virginia Scott (just about the only female keyboardist I know who played Mellotron) had sat this one out, so all keyboard duties were by Alan Parker. It's to my understanding that "Pathfinder" was BEGGARS OPERA's last fully progressive album, although they did continue on and off again releasing albums until the beginning of the 1980s. This is a nice album to have for those who enjoy early British prog.
