RhoDeo 1148 Goldy Rhox 48

Hello, today the 48th post of GoldyRhox, classic pop rock, in the darklight a US star first popular in Europe as at the time coloured musicians went largely unnoticed as discrimination was still rife in that socalled Christian nation. The still largely segregated US didn't give him the possibilities to become worlds greatest guitarplayer and so after drifting thru the black music scene for 5 years he was recognised in New York and offered a management and production contract with Chas Chandler and followed him to the UK to do his thing and the rest as they say is history.

Most of the albums i 'll post made many millions for the music industry and a lot of what i intend to post still gets repackaged and remastered decades later, squeezing the last drop of profit out of bands that for the most part have ceased to exist long ago, although sometimes they get lured out of the mothballs to do a big bucks gig or tour. Now i'm not as naive to post this kinda music for all to see and have deleted, these will be a black box posts, i'm sorry for those on limited bandwidth but for most of you a gamble will get you a quality rip don't like it, deleting is just 2 clicks...That said i will try to accommodate somewhat and produce some cryptic info on the artist and or album.

Todays mystery album is the debut album released may 67, initially issued in mono and then 'enhanced stereo' on later issues. Recordings had already begun in late October 1966, with the band producing material that does not appear on the album, but was released as singles leading up to its release. These were included in the August 67 US release, at hand here.
The touring for the album began during the winter of 1966-67, around working man's clubs and little theaters in the north of England. The effort paid off, the album became one of the defining releases of the psychedelic movement, reaching #2 in the UK and remaining on the British charts for eight months behind The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. In the US the release came of the back from their sensational US debut show at the Monterey Festival. The album stayed 2 years in the Billboard charts and is regarded as a landmark rockalbum, no wonder then it finds itself at # 15 in the Rolling Stones all times rankings.
The band would release 2 more albums in the next 2 years each A listed, meanwhile our mystery star had become a global phenomena headlining Woodstock , he was to release one more album with a new line up behore his untimely death age 27. It set up decades of exploitation by the music industry with hundreds of albums being released with his name attached, besides the scores of official rereleases. All the while keeping his heirs at bay and even his only though illigemate child without a penny. Is it any wonder then these crooks scream murder if they themselves get pirated, steel from a thief and they go beserk.
