POWERHOUSE (see also: Shinki Chen / Food Brain) - POWERHOUSE - Powerhouse - FRA Absinthe Limited Press - LISTEN - VERY RARE
price: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
A limited French edition in a superb sleeve of the very good sole album, released in 1969, by a Japanese blues rock band led by guitarist Shinki Chen (later in, among others, Speed Glue & Shinki and Food Brain - recommended!). This album, ultra-rare in its vinyl version (about 1500 euros), contained almost exclusively great, English-sung covers of recordings by the British bluesy bands of the day (Hendrix, Cream, Ten Years After, The Yardbirds) and two Beatles songs (including an unconventionally delivered, very slowed-down, strictly bluesy, great "Back In The USSR" and, sadly, a very embarrassing "Ob-la-di-Ob-la-da" - the only weak moment of this 55-minute record). Without doubt the best were the monstrous, 15-minute versions of "Spoonful" and "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl", full of intriguing guitar improvisations, played in the style of Ten Years After, Savoy Brown and Cream. Super! Every lover of heavy blues from the late 60s must have this album. And that brilliant, psychedelic cover, which in laminated form simply looks stunning! Highly recommended!
