Clutch –Black Angel/ The Frighteners –EMI 2016 (1973 UK)
Black Angel is a 3 chord Boogie/Glam Cruncher with some neat revved –up Motorbike effects and Kim Fowley type grunts. The tune doesn’t really go anywhere, but you have got to dig those bike sounds… The B side is a pretty good up-tempo rocker. I couldn’t find any info on these guys, perhaps a one-off??

I think this might be something to do with Quatermass, or Strapps... B-side seems to have been written by their drummer. Me know nothing about Trevor Gibson though... where'd he fit in?
First of all , I'd like to thank Robin for creating this blogspot , sharing clips of some fantastic music and knowing his stuff .

I've got a copy of this single, I bought in in 1973, it took 3 weeks to arrive at the shop where I got it. I heard it played on 208 Radio Luxembourg at night during April 73 It's similar to Motorcycle Dream released in 74 by Slack Alice, (got that too)
I have a copy too Bruce, almost defo would have heard it on Luxembourg too. It is a brilliant song.
