The Groundhogs - Thank Christ For The Bomb (1970)

Year: May 1970 (CD 1990)
Label: BGO Records (UK), BGOCD67
Style: Blues Rock, Classic Rock
Country: England
Time: 41:03
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 263 Mb

Thank Christ for the Bomb is the third studio album recorded by The Groundhogs, originally released by Liberty Records in 1970. It was engineered by Martin Birch, who had previously worked on albums by Deep Purple, Jeff Beck, Fleetwood Mac and Peter Green. It entered the UK Melody Maker album charts at number 27 on 20 June 1970, and had a total of 3 entries in that chart.
The album is a concept album, or to be exact, has two concepts. Side 1 (tracks 1–4) addresses what McPhee termed "alienness" while side 2 is, according to the sleeve notes, "the story of a man who lived in Chelsea all his life; first in a mansion then on the benches of the embankment".

Man - Be Good To Yourself At Least Once A Day (1972)

Year: November 1972 (CD 1991)
Label: BGO Records (UK), BGOCD 14
Style: Progressive Rock, Rock
Country: Merthyr Tydfil, Wales
Time: 36:04
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 198 Mb

Be Good to Yourself at Least Once a Day is the sixth album by the Welsh rock band Man. Issued just two months after the previous album, Live at the Padget Rooms, Penarth, it features a radically different line-up. Martin Ace having left, and Deke Leonard having been fired, Clive John returned, bringing with him Phil Ryan and Will Youatt, with whom Clive had formed Iorwerth Pritchard and the Neutrons when he left Man in 1971. This is the only studio album by this particular line-up, which also recorded the live Christmas at the Patti before Clive John left again.
The LP had a prize-winning gatefold sleeve that, when opened, unfolded a 2' by 2' (61 cm by 61 cm) cartoon map of Wales, showing the origins of numerous Welsh bands, including Man, and other places of interest. The country was shown as an island, separated from England by a large channel of water, and being pushed away from her neighbour by ten men using long poles.
The inner sleeve featured 'Man's Family Jungle', Man's family tree, similar to those prepared by Pete Frame, but in a scrawled version drawn by Leonard, despite him having been recently fired from the band, as is acknowledged on the chart. On the earlier CD issues (prior to 2007) the map was unreadably small and the 'Family Jungle' was missing. Due to the complications of a previous publishing contract, newly arrived bassist Will Youatt did not appear in the writing credits despite allegedly making a significant contribution to the songs.

The Graham Bond Organisation - The Sound Of '65 & There's A Bond Between Us [2LP on 1CD] (1965)

Year: 26 February 1965 / 10 December 1965 (CD 1999)
Label: BGO Records (UK), BGOCD500
Style: Blues Rock, British Invasion, Jazz Rock
Country: United Kingdom
Time: 75:50
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 365 Mb

The Graham Bond Organisation (GBO) were a British blues/blues rock group of the mid-1960s consisting of Graham Bond (vocals, keyboards, alto-saxophone), Jack Bruce (bass), Ginger Baker (drums), Dick Heckstall-Smith (tenor/soprano saxophone) and John McLaughlin (guitar). They recorded several albums and further recordings were issued when the group's members achieved fame in jazz rock. On original releases, the spelling of the band's name varied between the British "S" and the American "Z".
At the start of the British rhythm and blues boom the Graham Bond Organisation earned a reputation for playing aggressive R & B with prominent jazz and blues. Bond was the primary songwriter but encouraged the other musicians to contribute material, including Dick Heckstall-Smith's "Dick's Instrumental" and Ginger Baker's "Camels and Elephants", in which the drummer explored ideas he eventually developed into his signature piece "Toad". Jack Bruce's harmonica-driven version of Peter Chatman's "Train Time" would become a staple in Cream's live performances.
The first commercial recording by the original lineup of the Graham Bond Organisation was released under the name of singer Winston G. (real name Winston Gork). A protege of expatriate Australian impresario Robert Stigwood, Winston had launched his career under the pseudonym "Johnny Apollo". In early 1965 both Winston and the Graham Bond Organisation were part of Stigwood-promoted UK package tour headlined by Chuck Berry (on which Stigwood incurred heavy losses). Since they shared management, the Graham Bond Organisation backed Winston on the Parlophone single "Please Don't Say" / "Like a Baby"; the A-side was credited "Arrangement directed by Graham Bond" and the B-side "Arrangement directed by Ginger Baker". The band signed for Decca Records who released their dynamic version of the Don Covay composition "Long Tall Shorty" in 1964, backed with "Long Legged Girl" ("Long Tall Shorty" had been popularised by US singer/organist Tommy Tucker). Their best-known single, and the second released under their own name, was "Tammy" (Jay Livingston/Ray Evans) / "Wade in the Water" (trad. arr. group), recorded on 4 January 1965 at Olympic Sound Studios, London (EMI Columbia DB 7471, 29 January 1965). The track also appeared on their debut album The Sound of 65 (EMI Columbia, March 1965).

Arthur Lee [ex Love] - Vindicator [5 bonus tracks] (1972)

Year: August 1972 (CD 2007)
Label: BGO Records (UK), BGOCD783
Style: Hard Rock, Blues Rock, Psychedelic Rock
Country: Memphis, Tennessee, U.S. (March 7, 1945 - August 3, 2006)
Time: 51:41
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 360 Mb

Vindicator is the first solo album by Arthur Lee, formerly of the rock band Love, released in 1972. The backing musicians are credited as Band-Aid. A cover of the track "Everybody's Gotta Live" was recorded by American rapper and singer Mac Miller, and released on his posthumous album Circles in 2020.
(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vindicator_(album))
Love's 1967 masterpiece Forever Changes was an album so beautiful and timeless that it tends to dwarf everything else in the group's repertoire, and its gentle balance of grace and dread has made a lot of people forget just how hard Love could rock when Arthur Lee and his bandmates were of a mind. While Love's debut album pushed folk-rock into an overdrive that resembled punk, Lee's first solo set, 1972's Vindicator, was a muscular set of guitar-fueled hard rock laced with blues, showing the clear influence of Lee's late friend Jimi Hendrix. With Charles Karp's powerful guitar leads dominating the arrangements and Lee's vocals strutting with maximum rock star swagger on tunes like "Love Jumped Through My Window" and "Sad Song," Vindicator boogies with a cocky confidence that belies the fact Lee's career was in need of a clear direction at the time, and while there are no signs of the delicacy of Forever Changes, three decades on this sounds like mid-'70s guitar rock at its best. Lee was able to bring a soulful edge to songs like "Everybody's Gotta Live" and "He Knows a Lot of Good Women," and he connects with a sly blues shuffle on "He Said She Said," but it's when Lee and Karp crank up their guitars and the rhythm section of Don Poncher and David Hull turn up the heat that Vindicator really takes off, inviting the spirit with the kiss-the-sky spirit of "You Want Change for Our Re-Run" and laying out some thick Marshall-stack crunch on "Every Time I Look Up I'm Down." And anyone wanting a dose of Lee's well-documented eccentricity won't be at all disappointed with the brief spoken word fragment "You Can Save Up to 50% But You're Still a Long Ways from Home" and the anti-fast food tirade "Hamburger Breath Stinkfinger," both of which confirm Lee didn't turn away his muse when he cut these sessions. While Arthur Lee could create music of simple and fragile beauty, that doesn't change the fact he was a rocker at heart, and he rarely rocked harder or with more passion than he did on Vindicator.
