Buffalo
"Only Want You For Your Body"
RARE 1974 LP by Australian heavy-rock band Buffalo on the Vertigo label
(they were the first non-British band to record for the label). Pre-dating AC/DC and Rose Tattoo,
Sydney's Buffalo were one of Australia's heaviest blues-based rock 'n' roll bands, notorious for
their full-on live performances. With a monstrously heavy sound reminiscent of Black Sabbath
Buffalo were formed by Dave Tice and Peter Wells in 1970. After their first album "Dead Forever",
the line-up changed and Buffalo entered perhaps their most legendary period, with Tice on vocals, Wells
on bass, John Baxter on guitar and Jim Economou on drums and vocals. During this time they supported
Black Sabbath, Slade and Status Quo, and released another two albums of raw and massively heavy
rock. "Only Want You For Your Body" was their third album: it continued to deliver the band's signature
style of music. It featured the kind of controversial cover artwork the band were renowned for - the album
was banned by some record shops and radio stations. But above all, it featured a series of formidable
(if not politically correct) 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 Alvin Lee of Ten Years After). Peter Wells later
went on to join the then embryonic Rose Tattoo. This Vertigo LP, like other early Buffalo
albums, is on the must-have list for serious heavy-rock music collectors worldwide.
The album has a gatefold sleeve. and still has the original red insert.
