Sam Apple Pie - East 17 (1973 great uk blues rock - Wave)


Sam Apple Pie recorded their second album East 17 in 1973, with Sam Sampson and Bob Rennie from the first album supported by Andy Johnson and Denny "Pancho" Barnes on guitars, and Lee Baxter Hayes on drums. East 17 is a bit more polished and diverse than their first album but probably lacked a real killer track to get them wider publicity and recognition. Flying is my favourite track reminding me of Wishbone Ash in dual guitar mode. All tracks are worth a listen - exciting and memorable live band who deserved more success than they achieved.

Agnes Strange - Strange Flavour ( 1975 great uk hard rock and hard blues - Flac)


Re-issue very rare UK album from 1975 by this UK power trio with Hendrix/Taste/early Quo leanings. Plenty of guitar work and a heavy rock attitude. Somewhere between late '60's acid rock and late '70's metal. Features 5 bonus tracks and a booklet that contains band history and reproduction of UK and European artwork.A bluesy hard rock combo from Southampton whose album is very sought-after by some. The small Birds Nest label was distributed by Pye and their second 45 was also on a Pye subsidiary label although strictly outside the archive's time frame, both cuts are non-album and very rare.
