Very underrated band at the time, Budgie. Much more versatile than the typical heavy power chord trio stereotype. They were pretty much the last rock band to hold my attention prior to punk. The drummer's not bad either.
Bit of a late comer to the delights of bluesy 'rock'. After going a bit year zero as a punkish youth, eschewing any whiff of patchoulli. It's been a slow process of assimilation. Until the mid 90's my knowledge of 'rock' extended to Led Zeppelin 'Levee' etc, Black Sabbath's 'Paranoid' album, Motorhead and 'Dark side of the moon'. Queen. Not a musical avenue I'd bothered to explore. Though I had been into Beefheart from the early 80's after being given 'Doc At The Radar Station' on vinyl, and a Muddy Waters tape. Then some happenstance. I was given a box of ex jukebox rock pub '70's 7"s. Redbone, early Sabbath, Slade 'Nothin Natural', early Purple, Atomic Rooster, and stuff. Then I picked up a box of Charity Shop Blues, Bluesy Rock and folk lp's. An initial Beefheart 'Unconditionally Guaranteed' and 'Clear Spot' which drew me in Chicken Shack, Savoy Brown, Groundhogs, Ten Years After, Creedance, Taj Mahal, Anderson's Stereobreakdown, Both pale Winters, Robyn Trower, Climax Blues, Mike Raven collections, Horizon compilations and Wowee Zoweee and stuff. Rick Wakeman, early Mac. And then Blues of Furry Lewis, Bukka White, Arthur Crudup Robert Johnson, Newport Festival Comps and such. An interesting box {or two} full of gems that I'm still properly digesting. Good music, rewarding. As ever the power of Youtube has opened up loads more. Even though it was before my time, no use regretting not seeing it/living it first time round. I can watch it, transported there instantly. I've witnessed bands who've borrowed the best bits. Love that Budgie track, I like 'Breadfan' a lot too. His voice veers towards Shirley Bassey on 'Parents'. Strange. More on the dance/Demon Fuzz pathway. Have you checked out Black Merda? {no individual tracks just a full album on line, so wunna post it.} Rayt good though. {and Tonton Macoute} Surprized the Groundhogs didn't play Hollywood. Their riffage had a massive influence on the Pistols. I've found out in hindsight. Always thought the Pistols were a bit of a rip off. Any WAR yet? Never trust a hippy eh? Your knowledge of music is a credit to you mate. Your breadth of interest far outweighs mine and the stuff on the other thread is like a different country to me. Coming at the music from "before your time" in the way you have gives you some fascinating lateral insights that would just pass me by. My only advantage in having "lived through" my period of interest, apart from the experience, is perhaps being able to supply a bit of historical context, linkage and "flavour". Keep posting the tunes mate and I'll try to keep up!
Great shout with Tonton Macoute! - ace band at the time. I listed a heap of whimsical folky stuff on the Leycett thread. I'd add Principal Edwards Magic Theatre to that - may be of interest to you. I see where you are with the Groundhogs. I got Split out and had a good listen, Cherry Red etc...
I haven't had chance to look at the Black Merda yet but I will do ASAP. Ta!
Trower played the Vic Hall. That was as close as I got to seeing Jimi Trower had Hendrix off pat. Loud bugger though!
The whole Chicken Shack/Fleetwood Mac/Blue Horizon "can (and should) white men play the blues" story is worth a thread in it's own right. If only Stan Webb hadn't overestimated his vocal talents and instead hired a vocalist early on. Shack would have been as big as Mac. That's my reality and I'm sticking to it!
I'd like to know who got hold of the contents of the Horse jukebox. That was a musical education in it's own right.
Anyway lets keep the music threads going.
When I get chance these maybe:-
Memorable pop sounds of the '60s LESS THE BIG FIVE. A re-evaluation of Prog. Salvaging the listenable. Babys and Bathwater etc. The Zappa/Beefheart Nexus. ie any artist within 3ish degrees of separation from them. - I know, Don van Vliet would have hated it!
I'm off. A pint calls. Enjoy the match!
Sorry Duncan, More tedious rock chat again.

Can't be many better soul records not written in the seventies.

Cheers mate. Some folk are quite passive about 'music'. It grabbed me early in life and I've always researched and searched for new sounds. Youtube has made it much easier, but has taken some of the thrill of the chase out of it. I've travelled the length and breadth of the Country sniffing out shops, fairs etc. Watching bands I'd heard/read about. Hobbies become obsessions. The last decade I've been going through a process of downsizing, an attempt to de-clog the collection of stuff I've been sent/bought on spec. etc. Needed serious trimming. I havn't bought many albums during those ten years {though I do have mates who give me copies of new stuff.} I like the 'best albums in the last five years' thread loads of names to search through on youtube, it's a new way of experiencing music. Akin to doing your own radio show. It's a great way to spend a couple of hours. Youtube a few bands that I've heard/read/been told about {or recommended on here} and see where the sidebar takes me. A bottle of Henry Westons'. Cheers for the links on the Leycett thread, some really good stuff on that. The kind of sound that was about ten years before my time, took me thirty years to catch up. Especially liked the Mike Cooper and Trader Horne direction you sent me in. Not heard those before. Tried to search for 'The Holy Trinity' thread, unsuccessfully, some great stuff on that I seem to recall. The delights of King Crimson have eluded me. Like the idea of Fripp's guitar, and I like 'Red', but I just can't quite get in. It's a task I've set mesen. I've done a lot of harrumphing today.

And I couldn't quite fathom your parameters, it wasn't really pedantry, just a moment of contusion. All good though.. sent me on a tour of Lenny Kravitz and Roachford. Good tune btw, there's been loads of 70's Soul clones to pick from.

Not sure what's the clincher for this track.... Disco. The appeal is all in the muted cowbell for me.

had a quick breeze through what we all dropped the last bit and I'm super embarrassed as I recycled a few records! Really good ones but still! I guess tracks will get missed but I must drop a fresh one for sure right now!
Thanks for contributing everyone lets keep digging for records! Keep posting! Please! So many amazing records !!
