Part I of my compilation series, this is a great collection of the bands that got me interested in all these obscurities in the first place, so it is one of the best comps on the blog. You can't go wrong with any of these tracks, all heavy and all riff-tastic. If this is your intro to the blog you will not be disappointed!
Cheers, Rich.

ReplyDeleteHell yes take your pick from that first Captain Beyond album, what an awesome thing from start to finish. Possibly my favourite obscurity ever (though I talk about it so much these days it doesn't feel obscure any more)
ReplyDeleteIt was one of my first favorite classic rock albums. Flows so well start to finish, lots of cool guitar parts.
ReplyDeleteThis great, like a heavier version of the Nuggets compilations.
ReplyDeleteAwesome blog, thanx for the work !
ReplyDeleteCongrats !
Jericho and Night Sun are amazing! Everyone I know who was alive during the 60s and 70s are officially on my s**t list for not hooking me up with more good music.
ReplyDeleteHey thanks! Well most of these bands would not have been well-known to many back then even.
ReplyDeleteReally they have been the preserve of record collectors, until the power of the net opened them to the world.
Great good selection !
