Rise Above Relics, heavyweight vinyl includes insert
There are certain ideas in life that seem great in principle, though having the time, dedication and perseverance to bring them to fruition, often renders them left well alone…. If we, at Rise Above Relics, had subscribed to that way of thinking, then this Incredible compilation of brain-mincing, hard n heavy sounds from the golden-era (late 60s/early 70s) of sub-underground British rock, would simply not exist.
Our mission was to pull together the heaviest, nastiest sounding unreleased recordings by the most obscure UK bands we could track down, after seeing their names listed in the back-pages of 1970s music weeklies, old flyers, posters, fanzines, thanks lists, wherever. With often just a name to go on, we spent hundreds of hours (often fruitlessly) trying to track down likely candidates.
Of course, finding the bands was often only the start, as to get a useable track relied upon a kindly band member trusting their unique artefacts to a crazy record label they barely knew. Even after this, many of the acetates required microscopic surgery to fix an annoying skip, and all the reel-to-reel tapes used required careful baking to avert the dreaded 'sticky-shed syndrome'. Still, we think the results speak for themselves: ‘Yeah Man, It’s Bloody Heavy’ is simply the coolest, most unique and uncompromising collection of heavy UK nuggets ever to be released. But we're not done yet, as this is just the first volume of a major new series. And remember, sons and daughters of the mighty Sabbath: always keep it BLOODY HEAVY!!
