Tags: 1970, 45, 45rpm, 7", 70's, Broughton, Demons, Edgar, Out, Prog, Rock
Description: Still going strong today, the Warwickshire blues-turned-rock combo first hit the charts with this number, inspired by a Fugs tune. Recorded 'live' at Abbey Road.
As a kid, I used to cycle down to nearby Avery Hill College in Eltham where the Broughtons often played. Sitting on the bins round the back with a bottle of Cresta, I got my first taste of live music. Used to pinch the posters outside too. Still stuffed up in my mums loft I hope! (Harvest HAR5019)

 | Edgar Broughton Band - Green Lights (♫)
Tags: Band, Broughton, Edgar, Green, Lights, oora, progressive, rock
Description: Formed in Warwick, England, the Edgar Broughton Band arrived on the London underground music scene in 1968. Led by the Broughton brothers, vocalist/guitarist Edgar and drummer Steve, and fleshed out by bassist Arthur Grant and guitarist Victor Unitt (who also briefly served with the Pretty Things), they soon signed with the Harvest label, and issued their debut Wasa Wasa -- a collection of underground electric blues jams anchored by Edgar's Captain Beefheart-like vocals -- in late 1969. The Edgar Broughton Band returned in 1970 with Sing Brother Sing, which reached the U.K. Top 20 and spawned a pair of minor hit singles, "Out Demons Out" and "Apache Drop-Out" (a fusion of Beefheart's "Dropout Boogie" and the Shadows' "Apache"). The group seemed poised for a major commercial breakthrough, but even as their brand of heavy rock was flourishing thanks to groups like Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, the Broughton Band made an about-face, and their music became considerably more quiet and politically-charged. Their chart momentum stalled, and a 1971 self-titled effort failed to catch on.
After both 1972's Inside Out and 1973's Oora met a similar fate, the group left Harvest for NEMS. Legal wrangles locked them out of the studio for a number of months, but they finally resurfaced in 1975 -- minus Unitt, who'd been replaced by guitarist John Thomas -- with Bandages. A brief break-up followed, but in 1978 they returned with Live Hits Harder. By the release of 1979's Parlez Vous English?, the group had expanded to a six-piece, and was now going under the name the Broughtons. The record was their last, but they continued on, eventually returning to the Edgar Broughton Band moniker and touring throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
Enjoy this marvellous track from "Oosa"
