  | EDGAR BROUGHTON BAND ~ CHILLY MORNING MAMA
RECEIVER 262 ~ UK ~ Classic Rock
UK rock band Edgar Broughton BandFind albums by this artist were as legendary and revolutionary as bands get. Considered by many as the forefathers of Metal and Punk, they were always controversial and bittery anti-establishments. The music was rough and the lyrics plainly abusive (or what was considered abusive then). This live recording catches them at the peak of their 1970s days playing material from their 3 first albums.

  | CREEPY JOHN THOMAS ~ TRIPPIN` LIKE A DOG AND ROCKIN` LIKE A BITCH: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS
GRAPEFRUIT 084 (Barcode: 5013929188426) ~ AUSTRALIA ~ Blues-Rock
Recorded: 1969 - 1971 Released: 2020
This is a Box Set reissue release of the entire recording legacy by the obscure Australian born guitarist John ThomasFind albums by this artist. His music career started as a member of the Australian band The FilesFind albums by this artist. Thomas left Australia for Europe in 1967 and moved between Germany and UK, first forming the band RustFind albums by this artist and later recording two albums under the Creepy John ThomasFind albums by this artist moniker. All these three albums are included in this Box set, the Rust album “Come With MeFind albums with this title” (1969) and the two CJT albums “Creepy John ThomasFind albums with this title” (1969) and “Brother Bat BoneFind albums with this title” (1971). There are no bonus tracks but the music was remastered and the Box Set includes a comprehensive and well researched booklet, as usual with all GrapefruitFind albums on this label releases.
The music is a delightful mixture of Rock, Psychedelia Blues-Rock, which, as everything else recorded at that time, still sounds vibrant and lost nothing of its charm. Thomas plays some great guitar licks throughout and the material is definitely worth being re-discovered.
Following these recordings Thomas was a member of The Edgar Broughton BandFind albums by this artist and played with Dave StewartFind albums by this artist and Annie LennoxFind albums by this artist, slowly disappearing from the limelight, although he still plays with his Blues band.
Overall this Box Set is a lovely opportunity to discover some pretty obscure music, which thanks to the recording technique was preserved for posterity and is now available again. As usual, since they don’t make music like this anymore, it is a breath of fresh air, despite the fact that it is over five decades old. Warmly recommended!
