Was watching a track star tik tok where this got played and they talked about it being one of the earliest metal songs and it’s been on repeat since. As well as most of the white album and some Black Sabbath.

This is one of the greatest proto-psych rock albums of all time. 1971. Bunch of 1st generation black British dudes from former colonies. Crazy album and crazy story. They disappeared as the album was nearing completion. There was no follow up album, no nothing, they never reappeared. The name of the album comes from the fact that the label decided to put the music out after not being able to find them for a while because it was so good that “We Had To Let You Have It”. I know this because I have an original copy on vinyl and there is a handwritten note printed on a piece of paper inside the sleeve.
The track “Rain” is for my money one of the best songs written in this genre from that era. If they had been a popular band, I think it would be considered a classic.
Also, I dare you to listen to the song “The System” and tell me Lynyrd Skynyrd didn’t lift the main lick of the Free Bird solo from it. Yeah, I said it.

I just listened again and the peel session of the fall performing Eat Y’self Fitter is gold standard post punk. John Peel allegedly passed out because the performance was so intense (sounds unlikely but also the song speaks for itself, light headedness would surely follow).

It was really never a scary thing because I moved in with two of my closest friends from college and a lot of my other closest friends live in the city and have connected me with a lot of cool places and things and I’ve made a lot of new friends. I can walk to work in the mornings which rocks and everyday I spend time with some of my favorite people and when I get to reflect on it I realize how lucky I am.

I was looking for records for my friend for a secret santa vinyl exchange. I had put this on on my flight and then found it joint custody in Washington DC where they had written ”album of the year” on the album sleeve. I think we’ve all been loving it.
