GOLIATH - Goliath

"First album by US hard-rock band Goliath (of Hot Rock & Thunder fame), recorded in 1970 but never released at the time. First vinyl edition. Goliath was formed in 1969 when the Sons of Sound, Kicks, and the XL's dissolved. They were: Steve Peters (drums), Bill Peters (bass), Paul "Doug"(the Golden Throat) Mason (Hammond B3 Organ), George "Charlie"Egy, (lead vocals), and George Phelps (guitar). In 1970 they entered Allen-Martin Studios in Louisville, KY and registered what should have been their first album. The tapes remained unreleased until the Gear Fab label recovered them and did a CD edition in 2009. This is classic hard-rock with psych and prog touches, prominent Hammond organ, hard guitar, melodic vocals. Master tape sound and insert with liner notes and photos. RIYL: Deep Purple, Allman Brothers, CSN&Y."- Out-Sider.
