(A) The Music Encyclopedia of The Gravis Sub Humus

Ambrose Slade: Beginnings (Phillips)/Ballzy (Fontana) 1969(Same album - Different name & country of release)

This was the pre-Slade version of the group that released one album that had two different names. Entertaining but consisting of mainly cover material that the group were then performing when signed to the German Phillips label. The music consists of a "good time" competent guitar based Boogie Blues style that just touches upon the Hard Psych element of the time.


Amulet: (same) 1979

One of the absolute best Hard Rock efforts from the Private Pressed late 70s frontier. The group was from the Midwest area of the United States although I am uncertain where exactly. The album was originally released on vinyl and is extremely rare and sought after. There is a legit CD release that sounds as good as possible. The music consists of very competent, excellent & tight guitar oriented hard rock tunes. The vocals are superb. The over all feel of the album is quite heavy and not so FM aimed mainstream that it lacks the guttural,
"take no prisoners" sincerity that great Hard Rock consists of.
