Fresh Maggots – Fresh Maggots

From Aquarius Records:

“For those of you into acid folk from the early 70’s, we have another terrific find with FRESH MAGGOTS. This teenage British duo’s only record, not surprisingly deemed a failure upon its release with such an unappealing name (though of course we think it’s cool), came out in 1971. Which, as you may know, some here say could be one of the BEST years for this -or any- genre. Influenced by the likes of Deep Purple, Zeppelin, and Pentangle, Fresh Maggots really don’t sound as rock as the above outfits (partly due to lacking drums) but bring more to mind Forest, Tractor, or Tyrannosaurus Rex. There’s lots of acoustic guitar folkiness here blended with fuzzed out fits of electric guitar. And there’s a little tin whistle playing and triangle chiming going on, too! Melodic, pastoral, hearty, and highly recommended. This reissue, which the Fresh Maggots themselves had a hand in, includes extensive liner notes, and two bonus tracks.”
