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.
