Formed in Blackpool in the late 60s, Heavy Rain was a ”heavy progressive blues” band who shared stage with big names like Hawkwind, Pink Fairies or Caravan.
In 1973, now reduced to a power-trio (Geoff Carter on lead guitar/vocals, Oggy Hargreaves on bass and Bernie Worsley on drums), they went to London and registered an album which was never released at the time but a few metal acetates were made.
Only one copy is actually known of this monster rarity.
Music is 100% underground psychedelic hard-rock with heavy distorted fuzz-wah guitars and delay/echo effects.
Seven original songs plus a spaced out Pink Floyd cover.
