Thundermug

" Orbit "

Axe Records AXS.504, 1973 original issue/pressing Canada

Thundermug were a 4-piece band out of the London/Kitchener area who recorded three excellent long plays in the early seventies (none of which have ever been "legally" re-issued on CD).

"Orbit", their hard-to-find 2nd LP, is essentially an eclectic hard-rocking psych rock gem with lots of power-trio muscle that sometimes unexpectedly switches to softer melodic acoustic riffs (much like Led Zeppelin pioneered), yet with great inventive vocal interplay and awesome guitar breaks everywhere.

With Joe De Angelis (lead vocals, guitar), Bill Durst (lead guitar), Ed Pranksus (drums) and James Corbett (bass).

This was the 4th LP released on Greg Hambleton's very collectable "Axe" label (who also produced the album).

Labels...NM Vinyl (tiny pressing flaw on track, otherwise NM)

Original issue die-cut unipak (flip-top) novelty Cover (light shelfwear, coh)...EX
