Reviews

Groundhog-1 Oct 28, 2024
This has never been my favourite Groundhogs LP but I recently picked up an original 1969 Mint copy on the World Pacific Records Label and the sound is awesome. It's now quite high on my favourites list which is something I didn't think possible for this album. The recent remastered version isn't a patch on this edition.
Out of all the re-issues I must say that I like the Akarma release because it comes in a heavy card, gatefold sleeve but sound-wise, again, it's not a patch on this version.
