ROLLING STONES-AFTERMATH -1966-FIRST PRESS(MONO) UK-DECCA - LK4786 Matrix XARL-7209-1B/XARL-7210-1A Stamper 1I/1M (Dream!)

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.

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.
