Special
Price Unsung heroes get a much-deserved box set Bang was a psychedelic hard rock act who came out of Florida in about 1970 with a sound that owed everything to the loudest bands of the day, specifically Blue Cheer, Jimi Hendrix and Vanilla Fudge. Much has been made of their Black Sabbath influences but, all these years later, it’s obvious that the West Coast vibe of The Doors and the unpredictable songwriting of the early Pink Floyd and the Beatles were just as crucial to the evolution of Bang’s sound. The three-piece didn’t last long, calling it a day in 1973, but in that time they managed to deliver three albums and a Top 100 single before record company cynicism got the better of them. This box set gathers up those albums and – in a collector-friendly fashion – adds a sticker and a booklet with a lengthy biography by RC’s David Wells. The sun-soaked sounds of Bang (1971), Mother (’72) and Music (’75, with bonus unreleased tracks) are complemented by a fourth album, Death Of A Country, which didn’t see the light of day until 2004. Get this – you won’t be disappointed. |
