Beggars Opera was a Scottish progressive rock band from Glasgow, Scotland, formed in 1969 by guitarist Ricky Gardiner, vocalist Martin Griffiths, and bassist Marshall Erskine. The line-up consisted of Ricky Gardiner (guitar/vocals) (born 31 August 1948, Edinburgh, Scotland), Alan Park (keyboards) (born 10 May 1951, Glasgow, Scotland), Martin Griffiths (vocals) (born 8 October 1949, Newcastle upon Tyne) Marshall Erskine (bass/flute) and Raymond Wilson (drums). After working together building parts of the M40 Motorway near Beaconsfield, the lads moved back to Glasgow to look for an organist and drummer and found Alan Park and Ray Wilson. After an intensive time in rehearsal they took up residency at Burns Howff club/pub in West Regent Street in the center of Glasgow. Tours of Europe followed and the band found success in Germany, appearing on German TV's legendary Beat-Club, then at the First British Rock Meeting in Speyer in September 1971.

I'm angry. Not because of the music, which is fantastic, but because it's taken me fifty years since it was recorded to hear it for the first time.

superb rock opera classic. I was 20 when this came out, my neighbours got to hear it as I blasted it through the open windows from my B&O vinyl sound system.

Keine einzige Folges des Beat Club habe ich (geb. 1950 in Deutschland) damals versäumt. Heute (2022) fordere ich die Redaktion auf, nach Kräften nachzuforschen, wer damals für den großartigen live TV Ton verantwortlich war. Diesen Personen gebührt immer (!) Anerkennung durch namentliche Erwähnung. Man findet selten so musikalisch herausgearbeitete Abmischung, und die immer ohne Nachbearbeitung. Bravo! I (born 1950 in Germany) did not miss a single episode of Beat Club back then. Today (2022) I ask the editors to do their best to find out who was responsible for the great live TV sound back then. These people always deserve recognition by being mentioned by name. It is rare to find such a musically elaborated mix, and always without post-processing. Bravo!

They certainly knew how to bring this musical piece to life...a Rock Opera at it's best. You don't see this type of creativity with what's played nowadays. They certainly wouldn't know how to go about it. This was the time when Rock Music and musicians were creative . Nothing surpasses this !!!

A track in the vein of "Rondo" by THE NICE, featuring sections of Bach's Toccata & Fugue·, "In the Hall of the Mountain King" from "Peer Gynt" by Grieg, William Tell Overture by Rossini, Mozart's "Turkish March" also a brief rendition of "Karelia Suite". But NOT necessarily in that order...

Talk about great musicians and I'm in disbelief that at 58 years old this is the first time I've ever heard of this band
