Welcomed reissue of the rare 1972 Progressive Rock album 'Is a Friend?' by THE PARLOUR BAND. Issued by Decca's Deram imprint in 1972, this highly sought after release has been finally delivered on the vinyl format again. Featuring Craig Anders (guitar, vocals), Mark Anders (bass, vocals), Peter Filleul (keyboards, guitar, vocals), Pix (lead vocals) and Jerry Robins (drums), The Parlour band was a melodic Progressive outfit who excelled vocally and toured extensively as support act to bands such as Caravan and Khan, but failed to make a commercial impression, despite the excellence of their work, leaving behind their sole album for Deram as their recorded legacy.
