The Groundhogs - Split LP

The second of three groundbreaking albums by the ultimate power trio who morphed blues into hard rock and spawned punk. A much-loved opus with a side-long concept piece. A bona fide inspirational rock classic.

And a second side that delivers the mighty Cherry Red, McPhee’s take on The Beatles’ A Day In the Life, a sideswipe at junk food and a glorious interpretation of John Lee Hooker’s Groundhogs Blues.

Remastered and packaged with bonus tracks on the download (out-takes from the original sessions that spawned this spontaneous monster).

“Tony McPhee has turned to anarchic paranoid battlegrounds of the mind for inspiration.” - Melody Maker.

“Both musically and lyrically, ’Split’ speaks for a lost time, a nomad time when ideals took to the hoof and musicians stayed on the road rather than confront the fact that the '60s 'war' had been lost.” - Julian Cope

“Murky, fuzzy, and wisely esoteric.” - AllMusic.

“Supercharged, fractured and raging.” - MOJO
