GROUNDHOGS - CD-BOX UNITED ARTISTS YEARS 1972-1976

Popis - UNITED ARTISTS YEARS 1972-1976:
With a career spanning five decades, The Groundhogs are a cult British blues-rock band whose career goes all the way back to 1963. Named after the John Lee Hooker song Groundhog Blues - whom they backed on the blues legends 1964 UK tour - the band, featuring Tony "TS" McPhee on guitar and vocals, bassist Peter Cruickshank and drummer Ken Pustelnik, the band reached a commercial peak in the early 1970s with albums such as "Thank Christ For The Bomb" and "Split", the latter reaching no.5 in the UK album chart. This 3 CD set contains the bands three albums recorded for United Artists Records between 1972 and 1976, including "Hogwash", "Crosscut Saw" and "Black Diamond", as well as rare and previously unreleased BBC In Concert recordings featuring such spirited highlights as Cherry Red, Soldier and Split. The albums have all been remastered from the original production masters for the first time.
