Neatly timed in the mid-1960s, as the blues boom was in decline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNevertheless, they persevered, widening their repertoire, until, name-changed, they became the most important and most-copied of all Heavy Metal bands. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey single-handedly invented the style that influenced and inspired not only so many bands, but also those dozens of sub-metal styles that now abound – Black Metal, Death Metal, Gothic Metal, Nu Metal and so many more.\u003cbr\u003eThe band’s subsequent worldwide success over the last fifty odd years has, unsurprisingly, drawn attention away from just how fine a band they were at the outset. This release will most certainly address that position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese early recordings were made by the band, still known as Earth, who had already built an enviable reputation and a veritable army of fans with their high-powered, blues-rooted, red hot and rocking performances. These recordings accurately chart their development of their repertoire as they edged their way towards those heavy metal anthems that were soon to captivate the world of Rock.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003cbr\u003e1    Blue Suede Shoes 2’27”\u003cbr\u003e2    Evenin’ 4’21”\u003cbr\u003e3    Wee Wee Baby 3’15”\u003cbr\u003e4    “Untitled” 3’52”\u003cbr\u003e5    Free Man 9’48”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide B\u003cbr\u003e1    Song For Jim (Guitar Version) 2’25”\u003cbr\u003e2    Song For Jim (Flute Version) 3’21”\u003cbr\u003e3    Wicked (Demo) 5’57”\u003cbr\u003e4    Warning 12’57”\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BIG BEAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45154318975132,"sku":"BEARCD60","price":16.43,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/image001_1_4034dee6-f016-4572-92dc-0893577e1d73.jpg?v=1753870277","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/earth-the-legendary-lost-tapes-cd","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
