Poster - Never Put Up And Clean
A hard rock album. Released later in England under the title GROWERS OF MUSHROOM on Decca label.
The Decca release, in particular, is ultra-rare and very sought-after by collectors of this genre.
In fact the album is perhaps the most expensive major label album of the progressive era.
The album s UK name is very misleading. Anyone expecting an acid rock classic from the title
and cover of the UK release is going to be very disappointed. This is driving hard rock in the Led Zeppelin mould
which is only likely to appeal to fans of this genre. Nonetheless French s voice is raw and strong ideally
suited to music of this type and the album is full of driving, incisive guitar work from Mick Halls and his colleagues.
This is particularly evident on tracks like Drowning My Life In Fear, Stagnant Pool, Sad Road To The Sea
and A Minute To Go but there are no weak cuts on the album.
During their short time together Leaf Hound got to tour Germany and their album was licensed
to Telefunken for German release before it was put out in England.
Inexplicably the German release omitted two cuts:- Freelance Fiend and the title track
but it did come with a poster of the band.... Tapestry of Delights
