ORANG-UTAN 's/t' LP (Spain, Sommor Records, Catalogue #SOMM014) Brand new/unplayed copy of Sommor Records edition of blazing 1971 hard rock monster LP by "Orang-Utan" (actual band name is "Hunter," but the story of the band's "name change," and more is all told in the album's liner notes.) Classic!

(NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION!)

'Orang-Utan were in fact a London-based band called Hunter, featuring vocalist Terry "Nobby" Clarke (of psych-pop legends Jason Crest), guitar player Mick Clarke, drummer and songwriter Jeff Seopardi and bass player Paul Roberts. They recorded their sole album in 1971 at DeLane Lea studios. In a bizarre twist of events, their producers/managers ran with the tapes to the U.S., where they placed the album on Bell Records under a new band name: Orang-Utan, without telling any of the band members. A lost classic of blazing, early hard rock with minor psychedelic hangover vibes, a twin-guitar attack, and waves of fuzz/wah, along with powerful vocals. Think Leaf Hound, Budgie, Bang, Sir Lord Baltimore, Hard Stuff. First-ever legit reissue done in co-operation with the original band members. Includes an insert with rare photos and liner notes by Jeremy Cargill (Ugly Things/Got Kinda Lost), telling the bizarre story of the band for the first time.'

- For fans of Leaf Hound, Budgie, Bang, Sir Lord Baltimore, Hard Stuff, etc.
- First-ever legit reissue done in co-operation with the original band members.
- Includes an insert with rare photos and liner notes by Jeremy Cargill.
- "Quintessentially British hard-rock, transforming the blues in a way American bands rarely did, and with a kind of vocal intensity that compares to Free, Humble Pie, et al." --Aaron Milenski (Galactic Ramble)
