Spooky Tooth - You Broke My Heart So I Busted Your Jaw (1973 UK)
Este album de Spooky Tooth combina, como nunca antes había escuchado, heavy metal con unos teclados terribles. Maravillosos ritmos y un buen bajo para amantes de este instrumento. Desde luego esto es Hard Rock y dificílmente me escapo a su título. Realmente la música en este album se hace querer hasta desarrollar una afinidad en la banda, y como resultado su profundización es mucho más substancial. ( Texto extraido de Amazon.com )Spooky Tooth fue una de las mejores bandas de progresivo de los '70.

Spooky Tooth - The Last Puff (1969 UK)
Por información de Babelain, de este album que se lo levantaron en una fiesta psychodelica de los 70, y por interés mío también en tenerlo por ser una joya de finales de los 60 os presento el album de Spooky Tooth - The Last Puff (La Última Bocanada).
A new dawn broke in England in 1966-67 and it was a blues-rock dawn. Bands like Cream, Free, Ten Years After, The Rolling Stones and even Fleetwood Mac were blending their blues roots with the insistent beat of rock and gaining commercial success from it. and during the late 1960s, Spooky Tooth was one of a contingent of new British rock bands inspired by the first British Rock Invasion of acts like The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds and The Animals.
Spooky Tooth took Europe and America by storm; alongside their Island Records label mates Traffic, Free and Jethtro Tull. From 1967 through 1974, they released seven Billboard-charting albums. After the band's demise, all of the members went on to careers as solo artists or members of other successful bands.
It's been 30 years since "It's All About", their first Stateside release on Bell Records (later reissued by A&M as "Tobacco Road"). For musicians who have not recorded together for many years, there were a number of obstacles to overcome. Each of the group members had created their own lives and coming together again presented somewhat of a challenge. Although the group wanted to honor some of their past material, they were also very conscious of writing contemporary new material which would reflect who they are now.
Part of the Spooky Tooth legacy is that they were always great at covering songs by then-unknown writers (Elton John, Robbie Robertson) and at recording songs by established writers and making them their own (Lennon/McCartney, Al Kooper, Bob Dylan) in the inimitable Spooky Tooth style.
El título del album podría significar muy bien el trabajo final de la banda antes de que sus miembros se marchasen a formar parte de bandas de gran éxito o llevar carreras en solitario.
Encontramos en especial la versión de I´m the Walrus de Los Beatles, en una gran interpretación. Incluso también encontramos una versión casi calcada de Son Of Your Father de Elton John.
El album marca la etapa final de una extraordinaria banda, y podria apreciarse muy bien en el significado de su título : el último hurrah o la última bocanada.

Spooky Tooth - Live In Europe (2001 UK)
Dedicado al Doctor Bellotus
Spooky Tooth's Live In Europe is a cross section of previously unreleased live, rare, and outtakes. Some of these recordings came out of the archives from 1968. Tracks one through eight are live sessions (1968), and seven through eleven are studio recordings all the way up to recently (1999). This is a real mixed bag. Some of these tunes are real throwaways; others are standup rocking blues numbers. The group was vocalist Mike Harrison, keyboardist/vocalist Gary Wright, guitarist Luther Grosvenor, bassist Greg Ridley, and drummer Mike Kellie. They were certainly a talented bunch, so much so that they all went on to successful careers with other popular groups and as solo artists.Because of the range in dates and song selection the prevailing factor is inconsistency on this CD. What really surprised me was the terrible quality of the outtakes from the 1999 sessions. "Better You Than Me" sounds like a badly tuned in radio station, just dreadful. The next song "Soulful Lady" is a bit better, but the sound quality is muddied and leaves a lot to be desired. It's apparent why these were outtakes. They should have kept them that way. The live material from 1968 sounds a lot better. Not all of it is mind you, just some of it. "Sunshine Help Me" gets things started and it doesn't impress as a jump-starting tune for an opener. "I Can't Quit Her" and "Blues Town" do the group justice. It's a shame such a great group doesn't have any other existing quality live material available.Reviewed by: Keith "Muzikman" Hannaleck(progressiveworld.net)
Para los más entendidos, no es necesario decir quienes son Spooky Tooth. Sólo explicaré aquí esta publicación para los más jóvenes, Spooky Tooth fué una banda de los sesenta, con fuertes influencias del Blues. La banda estaba integrada por Gary Wright ( que más tarde alcanzó la fama con Dream Weaver), y Luther Grosvenor.En 1968, ellos hicieron varias actuaciones en Radio BBC. Aquí se presentan seis de esos temas, incluyendo The Weight, escrita por Robbie Robertson e interpretada anteriormente por The Band.Incluida en este album estan Pretty Colours, Better By You Better Than Me y Soulfoul Lady procedentes de una grabación no muy conocida de 1966, llamada Deep Feeling.Todo completado con un par de temas de la reunión de 1999, incluyendo Sunshine del World Party.Un buen repaso al pasado con una gran banda que impactó en su época.
