CWT-THE HUNDREDWEIGHT-

As this album hits the turntable you just crack up in a funny face and then it hits you once more. WTF!  Why haven´t I Heard this Before?? A Heavy input with gruesome guitar riffs a insane bassplaying style and then like icing on the cake, Brass arrangements to twist this album into total obscurity!! Just fabulous!! Never Heard anything like it!! This is mixed, not stirred, in the best way possible!! Cheers!

This outfit from Great Britain formed in 1972 and made their only album in 1973. They split up the same year. The production is fuzzy and it fits right in time with Hard/Prog/Psych/jazz rock. All instruments interact in a timetypical way and there´s no chance I would have it Another  Way. This is a time document that just nod´s your head and brings the feet to tap along. The songs are strong with growling sincere vocal input and some fine line passages that almosts get corny. The more you spin this goldmine on the turntable the more you get involved. That is a supergrade in my book!! 🙂

Whatabout the drummer, Collin White?? This achievment on this record is perhaps one of the most strong one´s ever recorded. There´s  tons of material to copy cat and the drive together with the bassplayer is just smashing. The technical abilities are top notch together with the striking and hit ratio just make you wanna wish it was you who played the drums on this beast of a an album. Everybody just goes all in and that is all that Counts in the end!! Super performance!!

Take an advice and skip the refurbishment on the livingroom this time and put your Money on this album instead. There are great reissues for no Money at all and will bring timeless more satisfaction than new wallpaper…Original copies are expensive but then you will get it released on Kuckuck records and I´m not gonna tell you what that means in Swedish…:-)
