Feb 2024 Frenzy issue in digipak sleeve. Wellington circa 1971-72. For just over a year Sonic label and studio owner Alan Dunnage and record producer Ed Morris aka O’Strange became a magnet for the Wellington and lower North Island Underground music scene. The labels output was small and included only eight singles and no albums. The legacy of those recordings is a time capsule from a fleeting moment in time when Sixties counter-culture effortlessly merged with the diverse and eclectic Seventies rock scene. PLAY IT LOUD!! “Alan had been operating his studio since the early fifties when he recorded Johnny Cooper & His Range Riders. He loved the new Rock sounds that were being generated by a new breed of musician. Being a lot older than the musos and quite content to record and engineer, he would use me to produce the bulk of the sessions as I was younger and could relate to this new crop of young musos”....Ed Morris aka O’Strange 1 LITTLEJOHN Bloodsucker 2 BENJAMIN GARDNER Maneater 3 BLITZ STREET FUZZ Beautiful You 4 BLUEBRICK Pollution 5 FAT GYPSY I’ll Still Be Laughing 6 ROGERS-BATTERSBY LEGEND Bullfrog 7 BLITZ STREET FUZZ Hard Times 8 STILLE RIPPLE Loner Postponer 9 SPANN Undertaker 10 FAT GYPSY Shotgun On His Arm 11 SONS AND LOVERS Make Us Free 12 LITTLEJOHN Have You Heard A Man Cry 13 SPANN Hot Fires Of Hell 14 STILLE RIPPLE My Uncle Ray 15 SONS AND LOVERS Easy To Be Hard 16 ROGERS-BATTERSBY LEGEND On A Nice Wave 17 BENJAMIN GARDNER Jamie 18 LITTLEJOHN Why Did You Leave Me? 19 LITTLEJOHN Everybody Knows 20 LITTLEJOHN Social Smoker 21 LITTLEJOHN Nice And Easy |
