Underground Fire - Self-Titled (1972) | Private Press Psych Rock LP | Full Vinyl Rip

Full vinyl rip of the rare private press self-titled by Underground Fire, from my original 1972 US pressing. Recorded in the summer of 1972 at Arthur Smith Studios in Charlotte, NC, the band had 8 hours of studio time and used Fender Twin amps, studio drums, and a Fuzz Face pedal. The gritty fuzz tones run throughout the record and are a defining part of its sound. From Monroe, North Carolina, the lineup was Mike Spurlock (bass), Roger Helms (guitar), Danny Taylor (drums), Errol English (rhythm guitar), and Randy Jenkins (vocals). All songs were written in the three weeks before recording, including “Loving Man” with Hendrix-style rhythm, “We Can Make It” featuring a drum solo inspired by Iron Butterfly’s “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida,” and the fuzz-drenched instrumental “Cardack,” named from a misspelling of “Cardiac” in biology class. Standout tracks: “Loving Man,” “We Can Make It,” and “Cardack.” If you’re into Blue Cheer, The Litter, early Grand Funk, or Iron Butterfly, this one’s worth your time. Noble Records has released a reissue of this album along with a great interview with the band - watch it here: https://youtu.be/GX5X9u44aY4?si=fKMvSwECBHTfSgAy 📷 More vinyl on Instagram: https://instagram.com/vinyl_piper 🎧 More vinyl rips here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Loving Man 02:58 Love The One That Loves You 05:01 I Love You 07:45 We Can Make It 16:16 Evil Woman 19:25 You'll Like It 22:52 I Loved Her 26:10 Cardack #undergroundfire #vinylrip #psychrock #fuzzguitar #1972rock #privatepress #southernpsych #obscurepsych #garagepsych #rarevinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylpiper
