Notes2006 compilation of mostly unreleased recordings by one of the great unsung bands of the '60s. The Mirage have an upbeat, harmony-laden approach akin to 1966 era Beatles and the Hollies. Many songs, mostly self-penned, were storytelling, observational songs. The Mirage signed to Dick James Publishing and served as the house band for a penny or two, including sessions backing Elton John during his embryonic song writing days. Indeed later on, following the bands break up in 1968, Mirage guitarist Dee Murray then joined Elton Johns own band for his run of classic early 70's albums and tours. 24 tracks total including 'Go Away', a previously unreleased demo featuring lead vocals from Graham Nash (then of the Hollies). RPM.
