Euclid - Heavy Equipment (1970 Ohio, US) | Psychedelic Rock / Hard Rock | Full Vinyl Rip

This is Heavy Equipment, the only LP by Euclid, originally released in 1970 on Amsterdam Records, a subsidiary of Flying Dutchman Productions. The LP came out in the US on Amsterdam - AMS-12005 in stereo with a gatefold sleeve. It’s a rare early heavy psych/hard rock album that has become highly collectible over the years. Euclid were a four-piece band rooted in the late 60s garage and psychedelic scene, drawing on hard rock, fuzz guitar, pounding drums, screaming leads, and some spaced-out production touches. Members included Gary Leavitt (leader/guitar/vocals), Ralph Mazzota (guitar/vocals), Harold “Maris” Perino (bass/vocals), and Jay Leavitt (drums/vocals). Heavy Equipment sits with one foot in late 60s psych and the other in early 70s hard rock. You get monster riffs, blown-out fuzz tones, and a barrelling rhythm section that lands squarely in heavy psych and proto-hard rock territory. The band even tackle a couple of rock standards like Gimme Some Lovin’ and It’s All Over Now and completely make them their own alongside the original tracks. The album didn’t make much noise when it first came out, but over time it’s become a cult favorite among heavy psych collectors, especially for the guitar work and raw energy. It fits right alongside records by Sir Lord Baltimore, Blue Cheer, early Grand Funk, and the heavier moments of SRC. 🎧 This rip comes from my personal collection. If you are into heavy psych, early hard rock, or underrated US underground LPs from the turn of the 70s, this one is well worth your time. 📷 More vinyl on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ 🎧 Full LP vinyl rips playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn 💿 Tracklist 00:00 Shadows Of Life 02:59 On The Way 07:19 Bye Bye Baby 11:14 Gimme Some Lovin' 14:50 First Time Last Time 17:38 Lazy Livin 23:28 97 Days 26:35 She's Gone 29:22 It's All Over Now #euclid #heavyequipment #1970vinyl #usheavypsych #psychedelicrock #hardrock #ohiorock #undergroundrock #heavypsych #fuzzguitar #organrock #gatefoldvinyl #cultpsych #rarevinyl #vinylrip #vinylcollector #vinylcommunity #vinylpiper #obscurerock #70srock
