LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

2 LP on 1 CD

Less than a year after recording their impressive debut Dead Forever (which had their record label, Vertigo, claiming "Dead Forever is better in quality, production and music-wise than Black Sabbath's Vol. 4") these Australian hard rockers were back with Volcanic Rock, more of that same frenzied, guitar-heavy rock that was making them living legends not just down under, but in Europe as well. Here John Baxter and friends bring us memorable songs like "Sunrise (Come my Way)," "Till My Death" and "Shylock", an authentic pearl for all fans of 70s hard rock.

The third album from 1974 "Only want you for Your Body" continues down the path marked by Black Sabbath in terms of revolutionary riffs and gloomy atmospheres. It also features a series of strongly convincing (if not politically incorrect) tracks such as"I'm A Skirt Lifter, Not A Shirt Raiser", "What's Going On", "King's Cross Ladies" and "I'm Coming On" (by Ten Years After's Alvin Lee).
