Album:
Bodkin (West CSA 104) 1972
(reissued on vinyl - Akarma AK 125 LP, CD - AK 125).
This privately-pressed early seventies collectable now changes hands for
substantive sums. The band were Scottish and the album consists of five extended
tracks of superb heavy organs and guitar work. Originally issued in a plain
white sleeve, unsold copies were according to 'Record Collector' acquired by a
German dealer a few years back who designed a new sleeve to enhance the album's
appeal. Recommended.
