VA - I'm A Freak Baby 3 [2021] (3 x CD's)

 

PSYCHEDELIC ROCK

VA - I'm A Freak Baby 3 [2021] (3 x CD's)

They've done it again, digging deeper than ever thought possible. All the rare British hard rock singles and recordings from the golden era, 1968-1972. Following the success of the first two volumes of the series I'm A Freak Baby, Grapefruit returns with a third instalment of pioneering hard rock sounds from the nascent British underground. As with it's predecessors, I'm A Freak Baby 3 includes many of the acts who were synonymous with the stoner, free festival element of the English counterculture, with key tracks from such seminal underground stalwarts as Mick Farren and The Deviants, Edgar Broughton Band, Pink Fairies and Hawkwind. Also included are musicians and bands who were honing their sound before finding huge success: the embryonic Deep Purple, the teenage Free, first album Thin Lizzy, Lemmy (fronting Sam Gopal) and a pre-fame Mott The Hoople are joined by old-stagers The Yardbirds, represented by an incendiary 1968 live version of "Dazed And Confused", a song that Jimmy Page would take with him to his next band. Completed by a handful of one-shots (Mighty Hard, Distant Jim) and previously unreleased tracks. I'm A Freak Baby 3 is another essential window on a burgeoning movement that would go on to establish a musical revolution. To quote the mighty Edgar Broughton Band, keep them freaks a-rollin'!
