New World Act II - One Man's Love





New World Act II - One Man's Love/Anywhere -Har-Money DG-102 (1968 US)

Apart from Har-Money being a small Hollywood label, I couldn't find any more on this amazing heavy gem. The year is 1968 and One Man's Love is a bestial dirge featuring whips and chains accentuating the thudding beat on a tune that sounds like an S&M Blue Cheer covering Feathered Fish with a vocalist sounding like a Cro-Magnon Arthur Lee or Sean Bonniwell...Totally incredible

Sarawest –Saturday (Hot & Heavy)/ Space Rider –Canadian Heavy Freak (1974)






Sarawest –Saturday (Hot & Heavy)/ Space Rider –Vintage Records SCV 2024 (1974 Canada)

Sarawest was a Toronto band who played around clubs at the time and released this lone single distributed solely through the Record Villa record store on Yonge Street
It’s a cracking double-sider with Saturday (Hot &Heavy) being the outright rocker and Space Rider, as it title indicates, the heavy psych excursion. Both sides are full to the brim with stunning heavy freak guitar moves, transposing 1969 into 1974, which indicates they must have been a blinding live act.
