Recording for A&M, touring with Black Sabbath, wowing BBC TV's Old Grey Whistle Test...NUTZ!

A showcase for their third album for A&M ('Hard'), by the time these hard-rocking faves of the UK live scene recorded this top notch set back in March 1977 for a local radio station, they had honed their act to sweet perfection.

Until now unreleased in any format, it reveals the Liverpool band’s talent for melody and theatricality in a rolling blitz of tight, showy classic rock with glints of metal shining away under the surface.

Acclaimed by many musical peers of the day, including Jeff Beck, AC/DC, Ozzie Osbourne - loved by fans - Led Zeppelin’s Peter Grant offered to manage them Yet, history reveals these boys were just too busy having a good time!

But then they were Nutz!
