POWDER Biff! Bang! Powder! (Rare 1993 UK Distortion 14-track vinyl LP featuring previously unreleased 1968 demo recordings from this little known San Mateo California-based band; brothers Tom & Rich Martin were the undisputed hipsters in their area searching out obscure UK imports and absorbing the tough mod sounds coming from England. After a spellbacking visiting New Zealander Ray Columbus [releasing one awesome single Kick Me under the name The Art Collection] the brothers recruited drummer Bill Shoppe and set about writing their own material in the style of 67-era Who The Move and Small Faces with strong emphasis on melody but delivered in an aggressive amped-up style much of which was lost on US audiences! The majority of these recordings were made at the legendary Gold Star Studios in Hollywood and remained unreleased [and largely unknown] until they were re-discovered in the early 90s! This copy remains sealed in original picture sleeve - a fabulous mint copy DR1015)
