=================================

With Black Sabbath leading the way, local bands all over Britain were trying to play as loud and heavy as their amps would go, and the record business mostly wasn't interested. The ten bands here each came out of their own local underground scene, from Devon and Kent up to the Midlands. Not one of them released a record at the time, apart from Fusion Farm, who pressed their own rare LP 'Rush Job' in 1971.

Our friends at Rise Above went looking for them the hard way, through old music publications, local newspapers and concert posters, then saved the music from whatever had survived. Fusion Farm's "Keys To Hell" comes off a rehearsal tape, while Bonehead's "Free To Escape" is a proper studio recording. That one was an audition tape for Atlantic Records, set in motion by Robert Plant himself. Bonehead's Paul Lockey had played with Plant and John Bonham in the Band Of Joy, but the band split not long after the session.
