{"product_id":"the-groundhogs-split_aec-firr508a-1","title":"The Groundhogs - Split","description":"\u003cp\u003eLimited gold colored vinyl LP pressing. Includes digital download. The second of three ground breaking albums by the ultimate power trio who morphed blues into hard rock and spawned punk. A much-loved opus with a side-long concept piece. A bona fide inspirational rock classic. Tony McPhee has turned to anarchic paranoid battlegrounds of the mind for inspiration, Melody Maker. And a second side that delivers the mighty 'Cherry Red', McPhee's take on The Beatles' 'A Day In the Life', a sideswipe at junk food and a glorious interpretation of John Lee Hooker's 'Groundhogs Blues'. Both musically and lyrically, 'Split' speaks for a lost time, a nomad time when ideals took to the hoof and musicians stayed on the road rather than confront the fact that the '60s 'war' had been lost. Julian Cope \/\/ Murky, fuzzy, and wisely esoteric. AllMusic. \/\/ Supercharged, fractured and raging. MOJO \/\/ Remastered and packaged with bonus tracks on the download (out-takes from the original sessions that spawned this spontaneous monster).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fire Records","offers":[{"title":"New \/ Vinyl \/ Split Fire Records","offer_id":48545950761268,"sku":"FIRR508A.1","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/7436\/1652\/files\/4382892-3309409_6842b2c1-438f-402e-8abc-37ac73374d1d.jpg?v=1794330576","url":"https:\/\/www.fye.com\/products\/the-groundhogs-split_aec-firr508a-1","provider":"FYE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
