Hard Stuff
Bolex Dementia
Second and last album by Hard Stuff, originally released in 1973 on Purple Records. This time, the three-piece hard-rock group led by John Cann (Andromeda, Atomic Rooster...) and featuring John Gustafson on bass and Paul Hammond on drums, incorporate some cool funk-rock and experimental touches to their powerful sound. After touring with Deep Purple, Uriah Heep and Captain Beefheart, Hard Stuff started recording their second album at A.I.R. studios with a few songs actually registered at De Lane Lea. Sadly, just before the LP was released, tragedy struck and Cann and Hammond were badly injured in a car crash in Belgium. Hammond took the worst part, having to stay for two months at the hospital. That was the end for Hard Stuff. "Hard Stuff's second album, the underrated 1973 platter 'Bolex Dementia' is perhaps a more accomplished and varied studio effort." ~Plastic Crimewave. Remastered sound. Original artwork in gatefold sleeve. Includes insert with liner notes by Plastic Crimewave and photos/memorabilia.
