MINTY CLEAN ALL OVER ! One of the BEST copies you'll ever hope to find ...final collection archive copy!!!

ORIGINAL 1970 FIRST pressing of the very first BUDGIE album on the KAPP label ...a mighty powerful heavy rocker that delivers not only a cool sound throughout but one of sheer power....

One of the best heavy hard rock FIRST albums to come out of the UK early '70s. The Welsh power trio Budgie came roaring out of the gate swaggering with blood and thunder. And at that time they had very little competition for their band of bludgeoning heaviness. Only bands like Black Sabbath, Bang!, Sir Lord Baltimore and the like were in Budgies' level for sheer heaviness. What set Budgie apart from the pack though was the thumping bass of Berke Shelly with his unique vocals. Include the fiery Guitars of Tony Bourge and driving drummingby Ray Philips with killer self composed tunes and you've a winner for the ages.... Most of the tunes are amazing highlighted by stuff like the heavy jams of "Rape Of The Locks" and "The Author." Not to forget the brutish "Homicidal Suicidal." Thuggish heavies up and down both sides! Widely influential on the development on the metal scene that came some 10 years later, beloved by a certain sect of record collectors, yet largely unknown in the world-at-large, this Welsh group’s early sound was concocted of doomy Sabbath riffs, pummeling Zeppelinesque blues, adventuresome albeit somewhat amateurish song arrangements, and leavened with a quirky sense of humour as evinced by song titles like “Nude Disintegrating Parachutist Woman” and “Rape of the Locks” (an ode to resistance in the face of a woman’s urge to cut her guy’s hair).

The first BUDGIE, recorded by original Black Sabbath producer Rodger Bain, is a no-frills attempt at a live sound, was an interesting attempt to capture Tony Bourge’s dense, crushing riffs, the plodding drumming of Ray Phillips, and the plucky bass and high-pitched voice of frontman Burke Shelley. Overall, a really unique knack for classic heavy riffs and hooks that puts them in the upper ranks of hard-rock music.
