TOAD - Toad +7 - EU Once Again Expanded Limited Edition - LISTEN - VERY RARE

A new, limited, European edition of an absolute classic of heavy rock from the early 70s! Released in 1971, the debut album by a splendid Swiss-Italian band contained very heavy, at times bluesy rock inspired by the work of Hendrix and Cream, but following in the footsteps of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath (and Budgie - whom they certainly did not know). The whole was served up without any compromises, decisively and with plenty of improvised and truly stunning guitar parts by Vic Vergat. The album was recorded in the same studio as "Deep Purple In Rock"... Additionally 7 recordings are included - two from the debut single, and also 5 tracks recorded at the Swiss EMI studios back in 1970 - a few months before the recording of the debut album. Years later these recordings were released on the long-deleted CD/LP "B.U.F.O.". The second, somewhat more 'progressive' album 'Tomorrow Blue', released in 1972, was also excellent! AN ABSOLUTE MUST! Condition: New, sealed. (JL)
