EXERCISES -COLOURED-

Vinyl LP pressing. Exercises is the second studio album by Scottish hard rock band Nazareth, released in 1972. Although their music is most accurately described as "blues-tinged hard rock", this record is quite far from the band's more standard fare, featuring, quite surprisingly, a number of acoustic arrangements, several songs with orchestral strings, and traditional Scottish airs. Indeed, the album's "1692 (Glen Coe Massacre)" is about a real incident in Scottish history, namely, the massacre of Glencoe. The album is also significant for its Roy Thomas Baker productionuonly his third project, and well before his breakthrough works with Queen in the mid-seventiesuand its oddly 'new wave' cover-art (designed by CCS Associates).'
