The Groundhogs Razors Edge album from 1984. A British three-piece no nonsense heavy 'blues/metal' rock band lead by the late Tony McPhee and featuring eight tracks in all including a Muddy Waters song at the end done heavy!!.
Several artist's working in the rock field have covered Wishing Well in the past and none come close to the original Free version. All the 'cover versions' lack that X-factor that makes the original THE BEST!!.
I would rate Free's Wishing Well in my all time top 10 rock singles from any era.
Never much of a fan of Roxy Music although I recall Virginia Plain being in the UK singles chart back in 1972. Having said that I wasn't a fan a couple of Roxy Music songs that I did like and still do like hearing for nostalgia reasons for me of the mid-1970s era are Street Life and a 'B' side...
I liked the earlier Accept stuff and still play METAL HEART from 1985 occasionally although the more recent stuff from the 2000s is ok I suppose but I still prefer the earlier albums such as RESTLESS AND WILD from 1982 & BALLS TO THE WALL from 1983 myself.
Contrary to what most people and rock music critics back in 1976 thought about 'the movie' I personally LOVE IT and still occasionally watch it and even the individual 'fantasy film sequences' which overall are quite amusing except for 'Bonos' Drag racing fantasy but the other three Page, Plant...
Personal Focus favourite albums are Moving Waves, Focus III, Focus live at the Rainbow (in London) 1973 and Hamburger Concerto and strangely enough Focus Con Proby (that's P.J.Proby the 60s singer although the album doesn't feature Jan Akkerman but Phillip Catherine a jazz/rock guitarist...
All most seems like some snotty nosed freckled kid just outa nappies or diapers can pick up a Gibson and a fuzz box and plug into a 100watt Marshall and declare him or herself a "guitar hero" these days!. A true story I went into a guitar shop yesterday and happen to namedrop CREAM and ERIC...
I have 2-separate cd box sets of 'The Funk' basically covering all their albums except the Good Singin', Good Playin' album from 1976 which strangely is my favourite 'Funk' album which Frank Zappa produced anyway I know they were VERY POPULAR in the USA during the 1970s and into the 1980s but I...
I have 2-separate FOCUS cd box sets with both box sets including everything they released from IN AND OUT OF FOCUS to FOCUS CON PROBY and everything in between including the SHIP OF MEMORIES unreleased album recorded in England in 1972. One of the box sets also includes the 1985 cd album from...
The 'Fudge' were influential on a number of bands during the late 1960s none more so than British band DEEP PURPLE with that guitar/Hammond organ sound with Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple admitting in later years that the rest of Deep Purple liked and listened to Vanilla Fudge back in the day...
Yeah I thought about that after posting it and I may well have got the financial amount of money the wrong way around?. The financial amount that was awarded to Joe Meek was the 'equivalent' to £3.MILLION POUNDS in 2008 and not in 1967 sorry about that and as for who received the money after Joe...
Just re-listening again to and possibly the most enjoyable late 1970s & early 1980s "Heavy Metal band" that rode in on the British NWOBHM phenomenon of 1979-1981 was the French band TRUST. I have nearly all of there cd albums all sung in French (don't let that put you off) that I bought back in...
I went and watched the 2008 film about Joe Meek in the Odeon cinema in Holloway Road only up the road from Joe's old recording studio in Holloway Road which was cool. I went and saw that film 3-times that opening week I recall and it's quite a good film especially towards the end when Joe kills...
Joe's old north London recording studio in Holloway Road is only down the road from where I live in north London although these days it's above a Indian food shop. A heritage 'blue plaque' is fixed to the brick wall above street level under a first floor window saying something like "Joe Meek...
WHITESNAKE the double-live album from 1978 & 1980 Hammersmith Odeon. I still like 'the Snakes' FOOL FOR YOUR LOVING which was a top 10 singles hit for them in the UK back in late 1980
In the UK Whitesnake, Rainbow, Gillan along with Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest and Black Sabbath with Ronnie Dio...
With regards to the Altamont festival I have read 'the book' about it and it's a good read along with seeing some of the film footage that appears on the Stones American tour of late 1969. With regards to the actual film that was shot I would like to see some more of the film especially of...
Some of the tracks are better than some of the 'jam songs' such as Tumbling Dice, Happy, Sweet Black Angel, All Down The Line and several others but overall it works but as a Stones album I prefer Let It Bleed which is probably my favourite Stones album.
I wonder if any Sabbath fans will have Electric Funeral played at there own funeral as the coffin (or casket for our USA cousins call it) descends into the fires of rock & roll HELL!!. :oy:
Yeah 'The Highway Song' by Blackfoot off the Strikes album is a great song and in fact the whole album is a good listen from start to finish although the next album Tomcattin' is my favourite Blackfoot album. The next Blackfoot album after Tomcattin' is Marauder and is another good listen from...
Where is ROBIN TROWER as a 3-piece trio especially between 1973-1976 also TONY MCPHEE AND THE GROUNDHOGS as a 3-piece especially between 1970-1974 along with WEST, BRUCE & LAING 1972-1973 and finally THIN LIZZY as a 3-piece between 1970-1973 featuring Eric Bell (electric guitar) Brian Downey...
