Indian Summer

In November 1969 went to Henry's Blues House in Birmingham with three of my then colleagues to see two groups handled by Midland manager/promoter, Jim Simpson. We signed one of them. That was Black Sabbath. One year and another record company later Jim asked me up to Birmingham again. This time we signed the band we had earlier rejected in favour of Sabbath. The new band — Indian Summer. And what a difference the English summer has made to this Coventry group. Suddenly, after 2,5 years, it's all come together. Never one to quit while he's ahead, Jim took them to Rodger Bain to produce and so the same combination that earlier brought Sabbath to the world's stage now takes up Indian Summer. History can repeat. Oh, and they're good too. Very good. — Olav Wyper.
