The Groundhogs' 1971 Studio Album Split on Colored LP. Remastered and Packaged With Bonus Tracks on the Download.
Color Of Vinyl Subject To Change Without Notice / Call To Confirm Colored Copies Are Still Available
The second of three ground breaking 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.
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’.
Remastered and packaged with bonus tracks on the download (out-takes from the original sessions that spawned this spontaneous monster).
“Tony McPhee has turned to anarchic paranoid battlegrounds of the mind for inspiration,” - Melody Maker
“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
