Greenslade was a prominent British progressive rock band that originally formed in the early 1970s, known for its unique combination of rock, jazz, and classical influences that pushed the boundaries of contemporary music at the time. Founded by former Colosseum keyboardist Dave Greenslade, the group achieved recognition through their distinctive sound characterized by dual keyboards and the absence of a guitarist, which was relatively unconventional for rock bands during that era. Greenslade's lineup also featured bassist/vocalist Tony Reeves, drummer Andrew McCulloch, and keyboardist/vocalist Dave Lawson.

The 1970s were a particularly productive period for Greenslade, during which the band released a string of albums such as the self-titled debut "Greenslade" (1973), the critically acclaimed "Bedside Manners Are Extra" (1973), and "Spyglass Guest" (1974). While they never broke into the mainstream, Greenslade garnered a dedicated following and respect among aficionados of the progressive rock genre. After initial success, the group disbanded in 1976 following the release of their fourth studio album, "Time and Tide."

Years later, in the early 2000s, the band experienced a resurgence as Greenslade and Reeves reunited to record a new album, "Large Afternoon," and to perform live, resulting in releases such as "The Full Edition (Live 2001)." Though their reunion was relatively brief, Greenslade's legacy was fortified through a series of remastered and expanded editions of their classic albums, delighting a new generation of prog-rock enthusiasts and providing a comprehensive look at their influential work during the early 70s. Despite the band's relatively short initial run, their intricate arrangements and innovative approach have ensured their place in the pantheon of progressive rock.
