• The third EDGAR BROUGHTON BAND album was probably capturing the bands best with songs like `Evening Over the Rooftops` and `House of Turnabout` ... not a wasted song on either side, even IF the glorious UK underground-rock legends have a totally delightful "wasted vibe" through-out...

  gotta love those bent edges!!!

      In 1971 the mighty Broughton band produced their magnum opus which, on its own is sufficient to justify an honored position in the internet's "Prog Archives." The self titled album is also sometimes called the "Meat Album" after the cover which shows a band member hanging naked in an abbatoir on the not pictured here reverse cover side. Imagination....
  ........................................................................................................................................
      This album is an underground progressive heavy-psych tour de force from start to finish and is one of the best albums ever made within the London Underground early '70s.

• The opener - Evening over Rooftops - should be compulsory listening for any student of underground-psych-rock. It is a beautiful, throbbing piece with an apocalyptic finale. Followed by a series of tracks ranging from blues rock,to even Burrito Brothers extreme, onto bent edges folk, in style all overlaid by Broughton's rasping, powerful vocal and with a pervading, tongue in cheek wit running through ALL of the lyrics. 
• 
  
• The album finishes with "For Dr Spock", a titillatingly beautiful, mainly instrumental piece that finishes with the suggestion that babies might go on strike for a "better world to be born in".... uh yeah
• 
      The Edgar Broughton Band produced many other notable tracks and were highly regarded as a live act which was guaranteed to get people out of their seats. 
• 
  
• In mood they resembled Black Sabbath but the music was highly unusual and inventive in the best traditions of the underground scene, even though they were always referred to as "Progressive" at the time.
