Official heavy duty gatefold double album of early 70s Scottish underground heavy rock from Iron Claw a band who were stomping around the UK with the likes of Black Sabbath Hackensack Pink Fairies Juicy Lucy and others but who never released a proper album. Iron Claw started their career in 1970 as (more or less) the world's first Black Sabbath tribute band: they incorporated the entire first Black Sabbath LP and single into their live set! And as it happens it was Iron Claw bassist Alex Wilson who unearthed the oldest known concert recording of Black Sabbath a 1969 gig recorded by Wilson in Dumfries Scotland! As time progressed Iron Claw's live sets started to include many originals as well as covers such as 'War Pigs,' 'Fairies Wear Boots,' 'Wicked World,' 'Green Manalishi' and 'Lady Whisky.' This collection of sixteen original studio tracks documents Iron Claw's existence from 1970 thru 1974 and includes extensive liner notes lyrics and photos inside the gatefold and on a 12' insert; also includes an 11x17 poster. For fans of Tear Gas Leaf Hound Jerusalem Ancient Grease Toad Incredible Hog Elias Hulk! Newly re-mastered for vinyl and sounding better than ever!!
