Artist: Edgar Broughton Band | Album: Original Album Series (Box Set) | Released: 2014 | Genre: Rock, Hard Rock | Country: UK

The band started their career as a blues group under the name of The Edgar Broughton Blues Band, playing to a small following in the region around their hometown of Warwick. However, when the band began to lean towards the emerging psychedelic movement, dropping the ‘Blues’ from their name as well as their music, Victor Unitt left.

The first single was followed by the Edgar Broughton Band’s first album, Wasa Wasa. Wasa Wasa retained a heavily blues influenced sound that was hard-driven and propelled by Edgar Broughton’s gritty vocal style, which was similar to that of Captain Beefheart and Howlin’ Wolf.[1] The Broughtons entered into an attempt to capture their live sound on record by organising a performance at Abbey Road on 9 December 1969. Only one track was released at the time: a rendition of “Out, Demons Out!”, an adaptation of The Fugs’ song “Exorcising the Demons Out Of the Pentagon”, which had become the band’s set-closer and anthem. The rest of the recording was lost until its rediscovery and release in a remixed form in 2004 as Keep Them Freaks a Rollin': Live at Abbey Road 1969.
