Smash –Well You Know/ Love Millionaire
–Philips 6029 039 (1970 Spain)
This is not what you expect from a bunch
of hairy Proggy looking Spaniards. This is snarly Freakbeat at its raucous R&B
best. Strange for 1970, looking at the guys I kinda expected hearing flute...The singer has got that snotty Punker attitude down perfectly, add in
some spooky sounding lead and a neat line hypnotic congas and the result is a
rousing tour-de-force.. Unexpected and great all round

Smash were a Spanish prog band from Andalusia. They recorded only two LPs and this single was included in the second titled 'This Time We Come to Smash'. They moved from blues-rock to a more progressive sound with flamenco guitars. The hypnotic percussion was played by Silvio who later was an underground figure in South Spain.
