The Lancasters - Satan's Holiday/Earthshaker (Titan FF-1730)
USA only release - MINT condition! Original vinyl release featuring two stunning instrumentals by Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple (who is credited with writing each track along with Derek Lawrence and Kim Fowley!)
This single was actually a one-off guitar instrumental produced in London by the indomitable Kim Fowley and featured guitar pyrotechnics by a young and impecunious Ritchie Blackmore.
Earthshaker" was a loud, crunching instrumental, influenced by Chuck Berry (and somewhat reminiscent of his "Guitar Boogie"), which no overdubs, just Blackmore and company ripping through a minute and forty seconds of basic rock 'n roll licks. "Satan's Holiday, " was a high-wattage adaptation of Grieg's "In The Hall of the Mountain King, " a tune that stayed in Blackmore's stage repertory right into the 1990's. Blackmore's clean yet sharp and powerful playing of the melody is a marvel of rock 'n roll virtuosity, while Underwood's drumming, coupling Charlie Watts-type steadiness with little Jim McCarty-style flourishes, is the other notable attribute. The group, which never really existed, never released another record, and within a year of its release, Blackmore was playing in an outfit called Roundabout alongside organist Jon Lord and on his way to making the music he liked.
