MAD DOG
617
Original US LP released on Fish Head Records in 1977.
Cool, obscure American Hard Rock. Heavy stuff, a collision between Prog and Metal. Some ripping guitar work on show here.
The whole LP has an incredible raw garage production, heavy fuzz guitars, rough and punky-blues vocals with songs that are both punk & psych freak-out rockers all at once...absolute KILLER Michigan garage rock, as seen within the pages of ACID ARCHIVES! This record completely has a sound of it's own; some pretty crazy way out stoned stuff as well as a constant heavy driving sound. Definitely not one to be missed!!!
The group was formed in Bay City Michigan in 1973 and consisted of Robert Charlebois (born in Bay City in 1957) on lead vocals, guitar,piano, harp and sax, Joe Charlebois (born in Bay City in 1954) on drums and backing vocals, and Don Langenburg (born in Bay City in 1949) on bass guitar. The group had a melting pot of influences which included the Motown sound, English blues,
American blues and metal, as well as the great rock-n-roll bands coming out of Detroit in the late 1960's.
In 1974, Mad Dog was asked to open for Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band and MC5 at the Skidway Lake Music Festival. The band played all original material and was making a name for itself. In 1975 the group was again asked to open for Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band in Saginaw, Mi. at a club called Hidden Hollow.
In 1976 Mad Dog recorded its first album. After a trip to New York and a slew of rejection letters from the major labels, the band
released the record in 1977. The album received airplay and made numerous college radio station playlists during 1977 -1978. Commercial radio was not into music this heavy at the time. Distribution was a problem and the internet did not exist. Indie labels were few and far between. Mad Dog recorded its
2nd album in 1980 and so far it has not been released. After slugging it out for ten years playing up to 250 dates a year, the band broke up in 1983.

To our regular customers outside Europe - unfortunately we have had to increase combined postage charges to non-European destinations. We have tried to hold off doing this for a long time but have been losing so much money on these packages that the increase is now unavoidable.
*********DOUBLES COUNT AS TWO*********
---------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!
We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SEVEN (7) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.
Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).
---------------------------------------------------
PAYMENT
I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.
However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.
I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
