Description
Limited to 500 copies on gold vinyl, contains download also. The second of three groundbreaking albums by the ultimate power trio
who morphed blues into hard rock and spawned punk. A much-loved opus with a side-long concept piece. A bona fide inspirational
rock classic. “Tony McPhee has turned to anarchic paranoid battlegrounds of the mind for inspiration,” Melody Maker. And a second
side that delivers the mighty 'Cherry Red’, McPhee’s take on The Beatles’ 'A Day In the Life’, a sideswipe at junk food and a glorious
interpretation of John Lee Hooker’s 'Groundhogs Blues’. “Both musically and lyrically, ’Split’ speaks for a lost time, a nomad time when
ideals took to the hoof and musicians stayed on the road rather than confront the fact that the '60s 'war' had been lost.” Julian Cope //
“Murky, fuzzy, and wisely esoteric.” AllMusic. // “Supercharged, fractured and raging.” MOJO // Remastered and packaged with bonus
tracks on the download (out-takes from the original sessions that spawned this spontaneous monster).
