Barbed Wire Sandwich LP

Black Cat Bones formed in London in 1966 and lost its best people to bigger bands fast: guitarist Paul Kossoff and drummer Simon Kirke left to start Free in 1968, Rod Price went on to Foghat, and Bob Weston later turned up in Fleetwood Mac. Barbed Wire Sandwich, cut in 1970 for Decca's Nova imprint, was the band's only album before it regrouped as Leaf Hound, and nobody much noticed at the time. It still sits as a flat, honest record of the late-1960s British blues-rock scene that fed Free and everyone else who got famous instead.
