For me this has to one of the greatest Prog Rock albums from the 70's. Released in 1971 this was the follow up to their first album Piggy Go Getter. The first album was a complete non runner and then this almighty beast came along and changed my perceptions on heavy rock forever. I remember buying this and taking it home on the bus. I was 17 at the time and thought I'd heard it all but I can hand on heart say this album just blew my head off. Looking at it in the shop I remember puzzling over it because it was on Regal Zonophone, the label for pop music, The Move, Joe Cocker, Blue Mink and the Boppin' Elves themselves Tyrannosaurus Rex. In my mind I associated the label as being kind of experimental and thought that it might be worth giving a go. When I got home I got it on the turntable and whacked up the volume, not really recommended for this album as the Bass is so mighty it nearly blew the cones out of my speakers along with the windows. I was surprised to read on the liner notes that Zal Cleminson never had a strong singer and that's what Tear Gas lacked, If you're reading this Zal, I'd have to completely disagree with you, the vocals on this album are amazing. I played in a rock band in Belfast (Lead Singer, Harmonica, Acoustic 12 String) and our band learned 4 tracks from this album and they always went down a storm. Needless to say when people asked who the original band was, nobody had ever heard of them and by that time the album had been deleted and was extremely hard to come by. They were like a cross between Sabbath, Purple and Zeppelin.
If you've never heard this album I would give your ears a treat and go buy it, £9.99 on Amazon Prime at the moment.
