Baby Bertha – Baby Bertha( UK 1972 Hard Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Prog Rock) Full Album

Baby Bertha formed from the ashes of Relative in late 1971. Several members came and went before the band featuring Dave Ellis, guitar/vocals, and Des Law, drums, finally settled into a groove with the addition of Ian Mclaughlin on bass and Roger 'Proff' Perry on rhythm guitar. The band went from strength to strength playing the south coast from Hastings to Southampton throughout 1972. In January, '72, they cut a demo LP at SRT Studios, Luton featuring songs mainly written by Dave Ellis. Musical differences arose when Des decided he wanted to be a DJ rather than a drummer. As luck would have it, Dave and Ian met Pete Gibbons, drummer with Sweet Poison, at the Bournmouth Folk and Rock contest in February 1973. Pete was an outstanding, agressive drummer and after one jam, they formed the band Charge. Sadly, both Pete and Roger Perry are no longer with us. Members Dave Ellis (vocs, gtr), Ian Mclaughlin (bass gtr), Roger 'Prof' Perry (gtr), Desmond Law (drums). 1 Looking For Somebody 00:00 2 Goodbye Good Day 04:40 3 Lost My Woman 08:59 4 The Struggle 11:28 5 Song For The Nights 16:25 6 Blues For You 21:38 7 Now You're Out Of My Life 25:15 8 Blueberry Hill 27:54 9 Can You?
