Groundhogs - Blues Obituary – Special Edition

Remastered GOLD VINYL – 2024 Release

Limited to 500 copies on GOLD vinyl with download.

The second studio album by the Groundhogs, now

slimmed to the classic three-piece line up of Tony

TS McPhee on guitar, Pete Cruikshank on bass and

Ken Pustelnik on drums.

The beginning of their domination

as the hardest working band on the circuit, a

testament to their creativity as they re-tooled the

blues into a neo-psyche groove.

Breaking from their traditional influences, the first

stepping stone for the power trio who would

blossom with ‘Thank Christ For the

Bomb’, ‘Split’ and ‘Who Will Save The World?’.

Inspired by a Yardbirds’ freak out, hearing authentic

Indian drumming and the magic that existed

between this legendary trio, ‘Blues Obituary’ is a

juggernaut of riffs. According to Tony in Zig Zag’s

John Tobler’s sleeve notes to the 1987 re-issue of

‘Blues Obituary’ it was the BBC’s John Peel

producer John Walters that forced the band’s hand.

“He decided he hated the blues,” McPhee told

Tobler, “We figured it was time to get away from it.”

“A deep excursion into musical depths

further down than Canned Heat ever dared go.” The

re-issue also includes a mono-friendly single cut of

‘BDD’ plus its original B-side ‘Gasoline’, an aching

solo Tony TS McPhee track.
