During a holiday in Scotland in the late 1980`s a German Record Collector met Mr West owner of the Studio were Bodkin recorded and released this album, there were about 40 copies left all without a cover and the German chap bought them all and designed a black & white himself sleeve to put them in. From this the rumour started that the LP had been made without a sleeve, however it seems there were some covers made for the original by the band here you can see the original sleeve of which only a handful were made. With just 100 vinyls this is one of the rarest LP`s released in the UK.
Спасибо огромное чувакам Британии . Отличную музыку вы создавали .
Дай вам бог здоровья и процветания .
great album! very enjoyable especially for those who dig good ole rock of the seventies!
What a true hidden gem. What a great sound this band from Scotland puts out. Really like that Hammond Organ sound Mr. Doug Rome.
My Dad is the guitarist in this band!!
And can you name the other band member?
Hi Matt, my brother was the drummer !!!!!!!
Your fathers name is Michael Riddell ?
Please thank your Dad. I love this sound
Почему такие шедевры оказались в забвении
Слишком много было шедевров ! Есть такие цветы, которые прорастают и созревают со временем. Я, просто, очень рад, что мне удалось ( 65 ) это послушать. Очень рад ! Хипповая музыка !
я тоже впевые услышал только сейчас. шикарная музыка!
а где б в СССР такое можно было услышать? хреново то, что скоро эта музыка опять будет под запретом: из недружественной страны, нескрепово.
@@CerMond1 В СССР ? Концерт популярной музыки . Голос Америки . Вел Юрий Осмоловский . Вторник и четверг . Если проявить немного смекалки то не будут запретов . И ютюб прекрасно работает.
This took me on a sublime journey through the window of my mind's eye... Brilliant absolutely brilliant. 👍✌🤘👀
This is golden dope!!! Amazing Album
WOW,great sound.What a treasure.
Great album, beautiful organ and guitar
Excellent band and album, Bodkin is a real discovery for me and i rushed to dive in the shops online to find and buy it because even re releases are becoming hard to find !
A real pleasure to play it , a kind of Deep Purple meeting Procol Harum ...A real gem , an true talent, one of the best and rare album of heavy psyche rock of the 70s 🌟
Thank you to share it and make us discovering it👌🚀✨
Just awesome!!! Thanks for this amazing share! ✌
This album is a true gem from start to finish as you said. How is it possible that they only made this album? How is it possible that they play like this, better than many of now. True talents!
1960-1975 все было гениально.и оно оставило такой мощной след,что до сих пор, подобия гениальности как-то проявляют себя .
и я о том же! паскудный совок, столько музыки утаил от нас. теперь я должен это все с такой жадностью и скоростью слушать? я должен был быть воспитан на этой музыке!
Yes or 1955-1975..
Shades of Uriah heep and atomic rooster here. Great sounds.🤓👍
Oh yes!
They had been playing since 1970 - musicians from Scottish villages, united by their love for heavy prog. They performed and toured universities and rock clubs and had loyal, but few fans. There was very little money and the musicians suffered. The release of the album did not change the situation. As drummer Dick Sneddon recalls: “We recorded the album in one take. It was very cold in the studio, and we had to play as fast as possible to warm up. Our organist could easily play five organs at once.” And the families wanted to eat, there were no prospects in sight, and the musicians parted ways... Bodkin is the band's debut album. The album's sound is astounding, and it is surprising that this music passed its listeners by at that time, and the true talent of these musicians remained underestimated. All the music on the disc is created on the contradictory dialogue of heavy musical sounds of the guitar and virtuoso organ. The duration of individual pieces is compensated by the emotional and furious courage of the musicians. Of course, an experienced music lover can say that Bodkin's music is unremarkable and will be absolutely right, but! Don't forget that the team was one of the first, and there was simply no such music at that time!
WOW - What an amazing discovery - I absolutely love the heavy sound of this Band - Tremendous stuff - takes me back to the early 70's - incredible Hammond Organ and electrifying Guitar playing and superb Drumming - Prog Rock never got any better than this, so how come they remained unknown - Record companies and Promoters missed out big-time that's for sure - thanks a million for sharing this absolute masterpiece in Prog Rock.
Dans les années 70 il y avait tant d excellents groupes cela fait plaisir de les découvrir a nouveau
А сколько ещё неизведанных, я как Колумб в рок Н ролле!
Great music, the only thing being, it sounds as if it was recorded a few years earlier. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for this bomb.
После смерти Джона Лорда искал играющих на Hamond в 60-70.
Нашёл эту команду с таким комментарием ----
Одна из незаслуженно забытых британских команд
прогрессивного рока, которая выпустила один
прекрасный альбом и канула в лету. Группа BODKIN
образовалась в Шотландии в 1970 году, когда
музыканты из различных деревенек Шотландии решили
объединиться и играть музыку, которая им нравилась.
Несмотря на разницу в возрасте, они все разделяли
любовь к прогрессивному року. До этого только
барабанщик Дик Снеддон имел за своими плечами
солидный опыт работы в музыкальном мире - он играл в
различных бит-группах, выступал в Германии в
знаменитом "Стар-клубе". Он присоединился к группе в
последнюю очередь, когда BODKIN искали нового
барабанщика. Наиболее памятным стал концерт в
Колледже искусств в Абердине в 1971 году, где они играли
вместе с WISHBONE ASH.
Денег не было, однако количество поклонников росло,
и это сподвигло группу принять участие в конкурсе
молодых рок-групп Великобритании, проводимом
журналом "The New Musical Express". Они легко прошли
отборочные соревнования и вышли в финал конкурса со
вторым результатом. Они были уверены, что выиграют.
Однако в отличие от предварительного конкурса в
финале вместо своих инструментов музыканты должны
были играть на инструментах других фирм, поэтому
группа не смогла показать свой уникальный саунд.
Неудача в конкурсе не смутила группу, напротив, теперь она
как никогда была полна решимости записать альбом своей музыки.
Они заключили контракт с фирмой West Records,
которая в 1972 году выпустила первый и единственный
альбом группы ограниченным тиражом 100 экземпляров
для продажи фанатам на концертах. Известный диск-
жокей Джон Пил также получил копию альбома.
Как вспоминает барабанщик Дик Снеддон, "мы записали
альбом с одного дубля. В студии было очень холодно,
и нам пришлось играть как можно быстрее, чтобы
согреться. Наш органист мог с легкостью играть сразу
на пяти органах". Если сейчас коллекционеры охотятся
за этим альбомом и готовы выкладывать за него
баснословные деньги, то тогда в 1972 году группа,
казалось, никому не была нужна. Музыканты продолжали
играть, но их семьи требовали все больше внимания, и
отсутствие популярности вынудило их распасться.
Многие члены группы продолжали играть в других
местных группах.
В настоящий момент большинство музыкантов BODKIN
продолжают наслаждаться спокойной жизнью в своих
шотландских деревнях. Гитарист Мик Риддел занимается
садоводством, басист Билл Андерсон с тех пор
переключился с баса на гитару и стал
профессиональным музыкантом. Наиболее нелегкая
судьба выпала на долю органиста Дуга Роума: он стал
шахтером в ЮАР. Слушая сегодня этот альбом, не
понимаешь, как настолько талантливые музыканты могли
остаться полностью незамеченными. Весь альбом
построен на неустанных перекличках органа "Хаммонд"
и тяжелой гитары, несмотря на длину некоторых
композиций, альбом никогда не становится монотонным,
полон эмоций и самого настоящего "драйва".
Buen grupo. Viva Yeste y San Bartolome
i have played this album ,my mate had it ! ,sadly it was "weathered" as most vynll gets, and it was in the mid seventies then ,so who knows where it is now , maybe a flower pot or a coffee table, but getting back to the band , i would cut through to edinburgh ,at weekends to the "nash" ,the international club ,on princes st to listen to them ,i even got a poster and various drumsticks , they were amazing
Wow ...thanks Seamus...a poster eh! ...that would be pretty valuable I would think!!!
Had the cd for 27 years and that Hammond playing is monster better than Deep Purple or any of them around at the time Doug Rome where are you?
He's in South Africa...
Better than Deep Purple??? God save you, man... this is heresy!
Es te disco es una locura, otro mas para soñar.
fasntastic , the sound is much similary a flioyd,genesis ,purple etc
SUPERTRIP!!! I'M BACK TO '72!!!!!!!!!
Bill Anderson (8), Dick Sneddon, Doug Rome, Mick Riddel, Zeik Hume. Not easy to find this :)

SCOTCH WHISKY... OVERDRIVE...
I have been this album twice and West label's vinyl is very thick and sound quality is not completely bad but it could be also better. If I compare this to Complex's first album's vinyl sound quality which has also very thick vinyl, I mean original black Deroy label I have to say it is really poor. What comes to the music, Bodkin is one of the best private UK album. Very powerfull, awesome and mind blowing. This album works real fine from start to finish and the track Aunty Mary's Trashcan has one of the very best guitar sound what I've ever heard, it's stunning to my ears. This album has worth of every penny.
This album was recorded in FALKIRK SCOTLAND 100 copies made.
I got the copy with the dayglo green sleeve in early 80's. Thought it was brilliant then and been looking for an original ever since. Saw one for sale about a year later for £400 I think, but thought it was too expensive. If only I had a time machine.
I,ll sell ya a time machine...it takes tubes.....

Wow 😳
Thank u
Welcome
Change in 12:30 magnificent
exelente
They sound exactly the same as "Writhing on the wall". There must be a connection here for sure..
The only connection is they were both from around the Edinburgh area.
Kinda Kansas stuff and Yes great music. 👍
Another good band suffering from having a bad name.
The singer reminds me of the drummer/singer for soft machine
Good score but 1500 is pretty rare in its own right...I miss the days of cut out bin records .great gems where in them bins...
You can get a reprint for cheap, it's just the original only had 100 copies, and not all of them came with the artwork on the sleeve
Price set for the South African Purchase ZAR 111,655.24
Love this album! I kinda thought that it was rare, I just managed to order their LP but it's not the original one, I think. Since the cost of it was only 31€
Nie kupujcie wznowienia Akarmy bo okładka nieoryginalna i chyba pirat!Jest reprint Selle Count z oryginalną okładką,bo first pressing pojawia się wyjątkowo .
Very regimentent prog rock, can understand why it did not do much. Good musicianship but lacked creative spark
only one i know that is more rare is fresh blueberry pancakes
Ancient Greece Records has that covered.
They sound like Writing on the Wall but the lyrics aren’t quite so cute.THe challenge in the 60s was to come up with a distinctive sound and the organ is too much ,
Вонючие капиталистические мозги и тут сунули цену в заголовок... А альбом классный!!
