The Human Instinct are a New Zealand blues rock band that has been active since the late 1960s. The band has had more than 25 members and has changed lineups several times since its formation under the leadership of Maurice Greer.
They have released a total of seven albums and thirty singles. Their most recent album, Midnight Sun, was released October 2010.
The band is best known for their single "Black Sally" and their album Stoned Guitar, which features the Jimi Hendrix-inspired guitar work of Billy Te Kahika, professionally known as Billy TK.
On their return to New Zealand, Greer was signed by Pye Records and entered Peach-Weymes Auckland ASTOR Studios to record their first blues-based album, Burning Up Years, which was released in late 1969. Three of the album’s seven songs were Harper compositions. (The single, "I Think I’ll Go Back Home", was a blues version of Neil Young's "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere", but wrongly credited to Harper.)
During recording Barton was replaced on bass by Larry Waide.
Burning Up Years was recorded and mixed by staff engineers Gary Potts and Wahanui Wynyard.

  1. Hello,
    first shame on me for only leaving a thanks after so much great post.
    Thank you very much for the many and great work for this blog.
    I come here almost every day, already looking forward to the next pearl.
    Speaking of pearls: "Human Instinct"... one of my absolute favorites for almost forty years. You have no idea how much I love their album "Stoned Guitar".. their albums "Burning up years" and "Pins in it" are also very good. Only the remaining albums I find a bit weaker.. they don't knock me out anymore :-).

    Many thanks and greetings from Germany...
    Max
