Heavy-progressive, proto-metal and psychedelic hard-rock from the depths of the UK underground, 1970-71.
Formed in Preston by the core of Pete Hughes (lead guitar) and Mick Carroll (vocals, rhythm guitar), Stoned Rose evolved from a band called Five Steps Beyond and at one time featured Chris Allen on bass (later of Ultravox). The band worked with a London agency called Nemesis and also with Tramps from Birmingham (owned by Black Sabbath guitarist Toni Iommi). Stoned Rose played several times at notable venues like the Temple and the Cavern and also at underground and progressive clubs and Universities, sharing stage with bands like Stray, May Blitz, Blonde On Blonde…
Exhumed from rare as hell acetates (including a Deroy one) and demo tapes, here’s the first ever Stoned Rose album. File next to Bent Wind!
Tracklist:
- 1. Day To Day
- 2. From Dawn To Jane
- 3. Heaven is Pink Primroses In Everyone’s Sunset (H.I.P.P.I.E.S.)
- 4. October the Ruler of Time
- 5. There’s a Rising Circle
- 6. Broad Thoughts From a Home
- 7. I’m Thinking You’ll Find
- 8. 17th Century Doll
- 9. 11th Hour Sour
