'It was the worst of times in Johannesburg white suburbs. The Beatles were banned on state radio. Haircut regulations were merciless. Life was an unutterable hell of boredom and conformity, but lo: salvation awaited. They came from the north in the summer of '69, armed with axes and scarabs, long hair streaming behind them, and proceeded to slay the youth of the nation with an arsenal of murderous rock tunes. They were the biggest thing our small world had ever seen, our Led Zeppelin, our Black Sabbath, maybe even our Rolling Stones. They were Otis Waygood. After two albums released on EMI S.A. the album Ten Light Claps And A Scream was simply the best Otis Waygood record and among collectors the most sought after. The music is influenced by the British underground for sure. Bloodwin Pig, Steamhammer, IF are working in the same field. Great guitars and vocals, blues-influenced underground rock, sax, organs and well-crafted compositions and arrangements making this album a unique masterpiece. Julian Laxton of Freedoms Children was the producer. Rob Zipper (vocals, guitars, saxophones); Ivor Rubenstein (vocals, percussion); Leigh Sager (guitars, organ, Hawaiin guitar); Benny Miller (guitars); Alan Zipper (bass).'
'The Otis Waygood Blues Band formed in Bulawayo (then in Southern Rhodesia now in Zimbabwe). They were all at Milton School where one of the Zipper brother's first bands was The Merseys. The Zipper family owned one of the town's top class clothing shops. They perfomed a lot in Salisbury. Their best album is usually considered to be Ten Light Claps And A Scream. Here they abandon their blues roots for a jazzy progressive sound. It comprised eight originals and a Harry Poulos composition Straight Ahead. A Madman's Cry, I Left My Skull In San Francisco, Easy Way, S.H.a.K. and You Can Do (Pts 1 & 2) were all penned by the band members, while Devil Bones was a collaboration with Harry Poulos. The album was produced by Julian Laxton under the direction of Clive Calder.' - Dreams, Fantasies And Nightmares
