Brand new limited edition vinyl LP with download.
First ever legit vinyl reissue of this impossible to find private psychedelic hard–rock album from 1973, offering remastered sound + a colour insert with rare photos and liner notes by David Wells.
Charge were a British power–trio born from the ashes of local South Coast heavy–blues bands Baby Bertha and Sweet Poison. Comprised of Dave Ellis (guitar), Pete Gibbons (drums) and Ian Mclaughlin (bass), they played heavy rock influenced by Hendrix, Cream, Free, Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac, etc.
In 1973 they cut a demo album at SRT studios of which 99 copies in blank covers were pressed and later distributed between family & friends, with a few of them also shipped to record companies in what proved to be an unsuccessful attempt at earning a recording contract.
"One of the buried treasures of the early Seventies British psychedelic / progressive underground scene." David Wells
"Ultra–rare heavy–rock LP". Galactic Ramble
