RARE COLLECTIBLE 1970 Orig HARD GUITAR UNDERGROUND ROCKER
DEMIAN
\ USA - ABC RECORDS - ABCS 718
Original 1970 first pressing in thick gatefold cover ... the 2nd Lp by The BUBBLE PUPPY who changed their name...to DEMIAN
By 1970 Bubble Puppy was embroiled in an ever nastier series of legal confrontations with their Texas-base label International Artists. Relocating to California in hopes of getting some legal support from the musicians union, bassist Roy Cox, drummer David Fore and lead guitarists Todd Potter and Rod Prince became friendly with the band Steppenwolf, picking up a mentor in Steppenwolf bassist Nick St. Nicholas. Officially killing off Bubble Puppy the quartet reappeared as Demian, quickly scoring a recording contract with ABC Records (coincidently Steppenwolf's label). Released the following year, 1971's cleverly titled "Demian" found them teamed with Nicholas in the producer's chair. Recorded at L.A.'s Record Plant, material such as 'Faces the Crowd', 'Windy City' and 'There You Go with My Baby' found the quartet largely abandoning their psychedelic-tinged past in favor of an above average collection of Steppenwolf-styled hard rock. Full of tasty Potter/Prince twin guitars ('Coming' was particularly good), and tight group harmonies it may not have been the year's most original offering, but still managed to blow away most of the competition. Elsewhere, the only misstep was the band's ill advised step into country-rock ('Love People'). Unfortunately, on the heels of a brief Texas tour the group collapsed.
This lost hard-psych classic is in fact the second album by Texan psych legends Bubble Puppy.
Recorded late at night at the celebrated Record Plant in Los Angeles, it’s a stupendous blend of tough rock riffs, glorious melodies and biting psychedelic guitar, but was sorely under-promoted on its original release in 1971, causing the band to splinter the following year.
