"Formerly Fat Harry" (UK/US Folk-Rock 1971)
A rather dull good-time country-rock band notable for including former Battered Ornaments' saxophonist George Khan and former Country Joe And The Fish bassist Bruce Barthol. The album was eminently forgettable and the band were soon forgotten too. They split up soon after its release.
Alongside fellow Americans Eggs Over Easy, this Anglo-American band, having recorded their sole album on the British soil, have been named as the first-ever exponent of “pub rock”, a genre that was still three years away from bursting onto the London scene via the likes of Brinsley Schwarz, Dr. Feelgood, Brewers Droop, Kursaal Flyers, Ducks Deluxe, Chilli Willi & The Red Hot Peppers, Kokomo, etc. Stylistically, they weren’t a million miles away from Daddy Longlegs, yet another US band that was operating in the UK around that same time frame (they recorded four albums before calling it a day and moving back to the States).

Hi
great site. Filling in alot of missing pieces in my collection.
Question....can you go back to the way you were presenting albums for download. I am having trouble getting to rapidshare the way you are doing it now. There must be other stupid people besides me when it comes to this.
thanks
thanx so much 4 this, you are a great blogger and you post so many gems, thanx again !!
as for the several people who have been complaining about how you are now doing the posting - it is up to them to learn how to get the material, surely they can spend a bit of time to be able to get stuff for free, this is all simple web use, you should know how to do it !!
