Zior ''Zior'' (UK Underground Heavy Rock 1971)
Zior's 1971 debut album got immediate attention when it was released because the band used the same artist that Black Sabbath had used on their first album (an artist called Keef). This first album is a knockout of fantastic heavy rock and is still one of my favourite albums of that year. Zior was a 4 piece band but, on both albums, the 4th member is missing in the photos... weird! Originally released on Nepentha records, the band then switched to Intercord for the release of 1972's masterpiece Every Inch A Man.
1. I Really Do
2. Za Za Za Zilda
3. Loves Desire
4. New Land
5. Now I’m Sad
6. Give Me Love
7. Quabala
8. Oh Mariya
9. Your Life Will Burn
10. I Was Fooling
11. Before My Eyes Go Blind
12. Rolling Thunder
13. Dudi Judy *Bonus Track
14. Evolution *Bonus Track
15. Cat's eyes *Bonus Track
16. Strange kind of magic *Bonus Track
17. Ride me baby *Bonus Track
