GROUNDHOGS-WHO WILL SAVE THE WORLD?-1972-FIRST PRESS UK-UA-UAG29237. Matrix A-1U/B-1U is a very rare British original of the cult prog blues band. WHO WILL SAVE THE WORLD?-A 1972 album recorded by The Groundhogs, originally released by United Artists Records in 1972, The cover is in the form of a comic book featuring groundhogs depicted by superheroes, drawn by comic book artist Neil Adams. In the story, they are fighting the personified evils of overpopulation, environmental pollution, war, "Pig Business" and "Sacred Cow" (religion), as well as a drug-addicted Monkey. Each of the band members is fighting their own evil, which has been hindering them from the very beginning, only for them to stand out and wreak havoc in another part of the globe. The lyrics of each song touch on these themes, and despite the comic nature of the cover, the lyrics are quite serious because they are politically and socially motivated.This was the first Groundhogs album to go beyond guitar/bass/percussion instruments, with McPhee using keyboards (mellotron and harmonium) on a number of tracks.
Vinyl record in top condition - NMINT/ARCHIVE. The cover is matte, multi-turn in top condition- NMINT/ARCHIVE. Labels as new -NM/ARCHIVE.
