Description

£28.99 – 2xLP, Limited Edition Red Vinyl

The second of three groundbreaking albums by the ultimate power trio who morphed blues into hard rock and spawned punk. A much-loved opus with a side-long concept piece. A bona fide inspirational rock classic. The second side delivers the mighty Cherry Red, McPhee’s take on The Beatles’ A Day In the Life, a sideswipe at junk food and a glorious interpretation of John Lee Hooker’s Groundhogs Blues.
