The English coast town of Hull produced a couple of highly regarded bands/artists, including Mick Ronson, Robert Palmer, and the Hullabaloos. The city was also home to Bare Sole, a heavy psychedelic rock and blues band that toured a handful of out of town gig's and U.S. air bases in Germany supporting bands such as Family, Status Quo, The Move, and Small Faces in 1969-70. Sadly the band's entire existence lasted inside a little over a year. Unfortunately the band never released an album, and thus vanished into obscurity.
They did however, record a damn fine demo tape (rejected by Decca) from a recording session at Fairview studios, assisted by writer/producer Keith Herd, and galvanized by an enthusiastic local poultry farmer, Bare Sole captured their primitive garage mannerisms inside of one fiery recording session which nearly 40 years later, finally sees the light of day as an official release. Seductive, garage/blues/psych with explosive doses of fuzz, wah-wah, and Farfisa organ.
