My parents had this on vinyl, though I’m not sure I ever heard it played. I remember this cover though.

I’d post Prince’s Black Album if I could. Brilliant and raw as ■■■■. And yes I have a vinyl bootleg.

Some of the more “out there” stuff in my collection. Apart from Budgie, a lot of whacked out fusiony stuff. Brand X was Phil Collins’ side project for awhile, during which he mainly stuck to drums.

You could have picked a better Budgie album to display

Hah, yeah a lot of people aren’t fans of that one. I like it though.

Honestly thought I was the only person who ever heard of Budgie until DJK.
I mean…I’m not mad for them, but I dig ‘em.

That’s kinda my feeling too. There’s nothing special about it, but it just works.

Right?
It’s unfair, though.
But I think a lot of things are unfair.
But I won’t be a wilting violet now.
It’s seriously farked that they’re not on early HM compilations.
Just one.
Just enough to make people say, ‘what’s this?’
After their Smoke On The Water and Purple Haze.
Budgie got screwed.
@mrjez is looking to run the next Blonde DJ in early November and has asked that we get a show of interest (he’s gone camping for the weekend)
Let me know if you’re interested…either via PM or tag me in the DJ King Thread.
(Regulars of the thread will have already been tagged over there…unless I forgot you)
Great album. Full of heavy riffing, odd time changes, cowbell, acoustic interludes, and songs about riding moonbeams, and dancing backwards on a sea of air. Cool ■■■■ - if you’re into that sort of thing. Gave it a spin yesterday - it’s a cracker.
I love Budgie.
First 5 albums are very solid. Live At Reading 1982 goes alright.
This one from 1973, is, in my opinion, their best work:

I take it that the Placebo record is not the same band as the 90’s-00’s (and still perservering…) whiny British band?
It most certainly is not.
Theyre a kind of jazzy funk rock prog type mob from Belgium formed in the late 60s i think.
Instrumental stuff, that can really take you on a journey.
These guys were cool.
From wiki:
Karp mixed elements of hardcore punk and metal à la the Melvins with an ear for pop-influenced song assembly. The band name is inspired from a newsletter/zine that Smith put out in high school and is an acronym that stands for “Kill All Redneck ■■■■■■”. Their oft used logo of an eagle with spread wings was a modification on the defunct National Recovery Administration’s “Blue Eagle” logo. Their recordings were released by several Northwest-related labels such as K Records, Kill Rock Stars, and Punk in My Vitamins.
This album is pretty good too:
Featuring Stu Spasm from Lubricated Goat (an underrated band in itself) and Kat Bjelland from Babes in Toyland.
That was one hell of a Blah Blah Blah episode…

Nice.
‘Never Turn Your Back On A Friend’ - 10 minute album closer “Parents” is brilliant - and ‘In For The Kill’ - “Zoom Club” is a monster tune (i’m very partial to a lengthy guitar jam) - are my favourite of the studio releases.
I have a live bootleg of a London show recorded in 1974, it’s raw, dirty, and rocks like a bastard - and another show recorded in Los Angeles, 1978.
The live album recorded at Reading, 1982 is worth checking out.
