From the release of | | their debut album for EMI's Harvest label in 1969, "Wasa Wasa", the | | Edgar Broughton Band were trail blazers for the counterculture and | | rock music with a social conscience and could even be seen as | | godfathers and influencers of the later Punk movement. Hailing from | | Warwick and featuring EDGAR BROUGHTON (guitars, vocals), STEVE | | BROUGHTON (drums, vocals) and ARTHUR GRANT (bass, vocals), their hard | | hitting approach over a series of albums for the Harvest label earned | | them many loyal fans and several hit singles (including their anthem | | 'Out Demons Out!'). | | | | In 1973 the band departed Harvest and would record a further four | | albums, all released on independent labels between 1975 and 1982. | | "Bandages" was the first of these records and was born of a time when | | the band was bedevilled with management problems. Recorded in the | | summer of 1975 in Oslo, the band was joined by new member JOHN THOMAS | | on guitar and was later mixed by the band and Mike Oldfield at his | | home studio, "Bandages" was a fine record and featured Mike guesting | | on the tracks 'Speak Down the Wires', 'The Whale' and 'Fruhling | | Flowers'. | | | | Despite the acclaim for "Bandages", by 1976 the band had decided to | | take a break and embarked on a "farewell" European tour with the | | addition of another guitarist to the band, Terry Cottam. Several UK | | shows were recorded by the RAK Mobile studio and the highlights were | | eventually released in 1979 as the "Live Hits Harder!" album. By the | | time of this release the band had already entered the studio with a | | new line-up featuring Edgar and Steve Broughton, Arthur Grant joined | | by PETE TOLSON (guitars), RICHARD DE BASTION (keyboards, backing | | vocals) and TOM NORDEN (guitars, backing vocals) to record the | | excellent album "Parlez Vous English". This record was produced by | | the band assisted by John Leckie and Simon Heyworth and saw the band | | shorten their name to The Broughtons. "Parlez Vous English" took on | | new wave and art rock influences and, with highlights such as 'All I | | Want to Be' (also a single), 'Anthem', 'Revelations One' and 'April | | in England', was arguably the most polished of all the albums | | recorded by the band. | | | | Following a promotional tour in 1980, the Edgar Broughton Band took | | the step of forming their own label for their next release in 1982, | | the conceptual album "Superchip: The Final Silicon Solution". The | | record saw the band revert to a trio and adopt the use of keyboards | | more extensively and the album's dystopian message is perhaps more | | pertinent today than when it was first issued. | | | | Speak Down the Wires: The Recordings 1975-1982 is a fine collection | | of music and tells an often overlooked chapter of the later musical | | legacy of one of Britain's most genuine bands. | | | | | | YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SHIT IF YOU LIKE IT RIGHT?! | | | | | | . . | | |\/\/| | | |____| | |------------------------------=---=-======-=---=-------------------------| |===/\===============================SOUNDz==========================/\===| '--/__\--------------------------=-2013-2021-=----------------------/__\--'
