LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Label: AZTEC"

Digipack CD"

One of the great lost classic Australian LPs from the 1970s is Buffalos 2nd. LP: Volcanic Rock - one of the bands greatest records and essentially the first stoner rock album ever issued in Australia. The importance of Volcanic Rock can never be underestimated. This is the album that established the bands reputation for dispensing uncompromising heavy psych rock of monumental proportions; this is the album that continues to enthral aficionados of the genre the world over. It was this LP that established the classic line-up of: vocalist Dave Tice (who later joined UK R&B band The Count Bishops), guitarist John Baxter, bass player Pete Wells (who later switched to slide guitar in another legendary Aussie band: Rose Tattoo), and drummer Jimmy Economou."

Deluxe version: newly remastered from the original master tapes with rare bonus tracks. They will be packaged in a 6-panel digi-pak with 24 page booklets - liner notes by Ian McFarlane, rare photos and recent interviews with key band members. Please note: there have been several unauthorised Buffalo CDs released over the past 10 years - Aztec Musics reissues of will be the first ones that are both fully licensed, and done with the full co-operation of the band themselves - look for the AVSCD catalogue number & Aztec Music logo. The bonus tracks on Volcanic Rock are the mono single version of Sunrise (come my way), and a live version of Shylock from 1973."
