WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL CLEAN 1970 first pressing *VINYL
BLODWYN PIG
GETTING TO THIS
USA - brown A&M - SP 4243 - white label promotional ...
Original 1970 VINYL ~ advance release white label promotional ~ first pressing in thick gatefold cover ... the 2nd and sadly last Blodwyn Pig boasts the BIG sound of "A Head Rings Out" ...led by bruising blues guitarist Mick Abrahams, he of Jethro Tull's "This Was" LP delivers a fine album filled with complex drivers and plenty of emotional feel throughout the romp of varied tracks.
"Getting To This" is in the same mould as its ground-breaking predecessor "Ahead Rings Out" but blessed with even more invigorating edge and energy. It's a chaotic ball of noise from a wonderful era. The influence of Jack Lancaster's jazzy winds are much more strongly felt. It is a sometimes gentle and thoughtful, sometimes rocking fusion of harsh jazz, rock and blues.
"Variations On Nainos" with Jack Lancaster giving the one-legged, jockstrapped wonder a real run in the fluting race. The wind flourishes at the start of the song are a gas - pun not intended - and Andy Pyle’s bass licks during the band solos a wonder of the Western rock 'n' roll world.
The album's heaviest song is "Drive Me", featuring Abrahams' well lubricated larynx on fine form, great dynamics, and a central guitar solo that literally flies off the vinyl and soars round the ceiling like a cuttlefished canary while Pyle and Berg piledrive a backing.
All-too-short but delicious "Long Bomb Blues", delightfully sardonic and catchy, leading straight into "The Squirreling Must Go On" - a reference to the guitarist's "This Was" showcase of two years' previous, but much, much harder and relentless -- about as heavy as a band can get without getting heavy metal.
"Worry", a rare Andy Pyle composition, is very intense with rising and falling unison lines, a belting sax solo in a far off key, and big, bad, jazz-inflected chords bursting through an "Orange" amp to a fulcrum near you.
Whether Blodwyn Pig would have excelled in the same way as Tull at reinventing themselves at regular intervals and thus prolonging their career - who knows. Personalities went their separate ways long before the music lost its exuberance.
