Groundhogs Thank Christ for the Bomb (Private Press Edition)

LP

1000 only. Special artwork edition. 50th Anniversary Private Press edition. Gatefold sleeve, Green slipcase, Poppy DL card, Poster, ‘Ration book’ liner notes. Bonus tracks on DL. A hugely influential album cited as the embryo for punk, grunge and beyond. Featuring epic 1970 concepts from this far reaching trio much praised by Underworld’s Karl Hyde, Captain Sensible, Stephen Malkmus and a host of others. ‘Thank Christ For The Bomb’ is a visionary tale of cold war fear, alienation and everyday drama. “This is a masterpiece!” New Musical Express // A thinking man’s rumination on alienation, the album is a game of two halves; side one tackling the thermo nuclear threat while side two traces riches to rags alienation in everyday London. First of a trio of ground-breaking albums that steered the band from the Blues into a heavier, more prog-based sound and a true reflection of their much-praised live sound.
