Hello, today the 37th post of GoldyRhox, classic pop rock, after all the 'noise' from the US's eastcoast todays Goldy Rhox shows all the smoothness and happy go lucky music style of that continent's west coast. I have to admit here before i did today's post i didn't know todays band didn't originate there, but of all places, North London, where they got the inspiration from for their mega 'desert' hit..i know not but i suspect Sergio Leone. Anyway they were the offspring of american service men so i suspect they honored their daddies when they choose their name. Hardly rebellious now is it ?
Seeing as there was considerable interest for last weeks flac version, i'm planning to keep up that choice.

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 accomodate somewhat and produce some cryptic info on the artist and or album.
The eyecatching cover of todays mystery album depicts the band sitting up against an old picture of 3 indians (getting shafted) it shows the trio was really reaching out to it's percieved core public..hippies. Todays mystery album was rereleased on Dec 29, 1971. The british born band responsible took their name from a home country just one of the trio had visited. It was a smart choice as the nationalism of that country knows no bounds therefor this name has sustained their career up to now. The debut album was released in 1971 to only moderate success, although it sold well in the Netherlands A demo track called "Desert Song" was picked up after a TV show and the rest as they say is history, the track about a nameless horse sold a million times and after it was added to todays mystery album, that too quickly went platinum. After this success, the trio relocated to Los Angeles, California. On the recording of a second album the trio began their move away from a mainly acoustic style to a more rock-music-oriented style. The second album, Homecoming, was released in November 1972. It was the first of a string of goldalbums with the occasional hit, things were less successful in the decades that followed and Europe completely lost sight of them but they are still touring and releasing material.
