Sommor Records to release Ancient Grease 1970 album titled “Women And Children First” remastered on February 17, 2023 and distributed by Guerssen Records. Stream the album promo through the YouTube player below:
Heavy Rock/Bluesy sound with West Coast overtones and some devastating Fuzz-wah guitar.
Originally named Strawberry Dust, Ancient Grease was a hard psychedelic band from Wales, connected to Eyes Of Blue and Racing Cars. They were supported by John Weathers (Eyes Of Blue) who also acted as producer and songwriter for their sole album, recorded in London. When eventually released in 1970, “Women and Children First” was credited to Ancient Grease instead of Strawberry Dust (one of those “great” ideas by major labels). The album was first issued in the US and later in the UK, both on the Mercury label but with different sleeves (being the UK one the most desirable and collectable).
