This was absolutely killer hard blues rock. Recorded in front of a
small but enthusiastic audience at London's Command Studios just prior
to their 1974 U.S. support tour to Black Sabbath, this previously
unreleased recording captures the maelstrom that was Bedlam at their
barnstorming best.
Liner Notes from Denny Ball: Monday
22nd October: Command Studios Theatre in Picadilly. Show set up by
Chrysalis records and our management. The idea was to record the band
in a live environment and then send those recordings out to America for
use by FM radio stations to promote our forthcoming support slot on
Black Sabbath's 1974 tour there.
We were actually quite rude to
the audience that night, treating them as extras in the evening's
proceedings. We were so focused on getting the music down on tape that,
when the tape ran out during the show, the audience were expected to
amuse themselves whilst the engineer got things back on track.
