As a backing band for American R&B acts Barbed Wire Sandwich toured successfully in the London club and pub scene. Almost two years later in late 1969 they recorded their one and only eponymous debut, which was released by Decca Nova in 1970. Brian Short (voc), Derek Brooks (g), Rod Price (g, voc), Stu Brooks (b) and Phil Lenoir (dr) played a highly guitar-driven blues rock with some psychedelic elements. Sadly their debut was released a few years too late to ride the waves of the blues rock success they've experienced a few years before, so they disbanded afterwards. It's a true heavy blues rock classic and a killer album, which is perhaps the main reason why this LP is incredibly sought after by collectors. The other reason could be that the two Brooks brothers and three new musicians then founded the now highly regarded band Leaf Hound!
