The SCARCE GERMAN BELLAPHON PRESSING
STEAMHAMMER
Reflection
German Bellaphon - Blps 220-07-010
SPARE German press scarce collectible ...
Hard to find 1970 German first printing on the old Bellaphon label, housed in a great sleeve ....different cover design from the USA & UK releases of this important album
STEAMHAMMER's "Reflection" is a GREAT melodic blues boom jammer worthy of similar groovers like 1st Sam Apple Pie, Black Cat Bones, etc
Steamhammer's FIRST album is clearly entrenched in the British Blues Boom along with Ten Years After, Savoy Brown, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, Chicken shack, Sam Apple Pie and others. Some guitar solos remind of a Jimi Hendrix influence: the guitar sound is just excellent for the early year of '69. Steve Joliffe plays some excellent flute parts a la Jethro Tull. There are some visceral & typical harmonica parts. The tracks are catchy, and retain melodic and galloping bass, which has a loud bottom sound. There are actually many fine moments along the way... filled with great guitar cookin' interplays and strong songwriting which make this album a great example of electrified UK progressive blues...Try this.. a not to be overlooked.. a classic
Martin Quittenton - guitar
Kieran White - vocals, guitar, harmonica
