GROUNDHOGS - Split (Repress) - LP - Gold Vinyl [DEC 5]

LP - Limited Edition Gold Vinyl. Only 500 copies in this pressing (2025 Fire Records Repress). 

A much-loved opus with a side-long concept piece. A bona fide inspirational rock classic. “Tony McPhee has turned to anarchic paranoid battlegrounds of the mind for inspiration,” Melody Maker. And a second side that delivers the mighty ‘Cherry Red’, McPhee’s take on The Beatles’ ‘A Day In the Life’, a sideswipe at junk food and a glorious interpretation of John Lee Hooker’s ‘Groundhogs Blues’.

“Both musically and lyrically, ’Split’ speaks for a lost time, a nomad time when ideals took to the hoof and musicians stayed on the road rather than confront the fact that the '60s 'war' had been lost.” - Julian Cope 

“Murky, fuzzy, and wisely esoteric.” - AllMusic.

Supercharged, fractured and raging.” - MOJO 

Remastered and packaged with bonus tracks on the download (out-takes from the original sessions that spawned this spontaneous monster).
