I thought that the Groundhogs reissues had already been out for a couple years. I've had Split and Thank Christ For The Bomb (with the bonus tracks) for at least two years now!

Willy, the above albums are "newly issued" only in the sense that they're export editions being brought into the States at domestic prices through EMI's arrangement with the Caroline label. Much better prices, but if you already have the UK pressings from a few years ago you definitely won't need the three CDs above. Caroline is also bringing in an export edition of EMI's Idle Race compilation, detailed here:

And more to come! :)

Thanks for the tip on the live CD. I'll have to pick one up!

I'm glad that someone at Caroline is getting hip to cool stuff like the Groundhogs and the Idle Race!

2008 remaster of this album from the great British Blues band, originally released in 1972. Tony and the Groundhogs have released over 20 new albums and have appeared on numerous compilations and collaborations. Hogwash was a creative high-point with 'Who Will Save The World?', which was a UK Top Ten entry, reaching #8 and staying in the charts for nine weeks. In the early 1960s Tony (TS) McPhee was working for Post Office Telephones and joined his work mate John Cruickshank's band, which was then called The Dollarbills. Neither liking the name or the Pop music they played, he persuaded them to start playing Blues and R&B after he had seen Cyril Davies and the All-Stars playing at the Marquee club and suggested Groundhogs as a name for the band, after a track on John Lee Hooker's album House of the Blues. 11 tracks. BGO Records.

1. I Love Miss Ogyny
2. You Had a Lesson
3. Ringmaster
4. 3744 James Road
5. Sad Is the Hunter
6. S'one Song
7. Earth Shanty
8. Mr Hooker, Sir John
9. Rolling and Tumbling
10. Death Letter
11. Me and the Devil Blues
12. No More Doggin'
