Groundhogs2

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. The Swedish gig was part of a 1976 Autumn European tour which was promoting their upcoming album ‘Black Diamond’. This recording is set in the Radio station’s own in-house venue Studio 4, and features tracks from that album, Hogwash and two stage favourites 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. The CD has a Deluxe Digi-Pack with Inner Sleeve and a 12 Page colour booklet which includes liner notes and track/track analysis from lead guitarist Tony McPhee plus previously unseen live photos from that period of the band’s history.
