Groundhogs - Swedish Radio Masters '76

Facts 2009 archive release from the British Blues greats. In September 1976, The Groundhogs were a four piece adding second guitarist Ric Adams to bolster the sound and allow Tony McPhee more space to develop his amazing guitar runs. This Swedish gig was part of a 1976 Autumn European tour which was promoting their upcoming album Black Diamond. The recording is set in the Radio station's own in-house venue Studio 4, and features tracks from that album, Hogwash and two stage favorites from their Top 5 hit album Split: 'Split Part 2' and a massive 18+ minutes of their all-time classic 'Cherry Red'. Mastered direct from the original radio station tapes, the sound is superb as the band rip through a set of seven songs on the night. MLP.
