Edgar Broughton Band - Keep Them Freaks A Rollin '. Live At Abbey Road, December 1969 (UK, Heavy Psychedelic Blues Rock)

I have to say you were one of the first bands from that era, that started this so called "dirty hard rock blues" How did the audience react to your music?

They responded massively and loudly to our music. Audience participation was a major contributor to the energy our gigs generated.

After releasing first album and touring you want to catch the live sound from concert. You recorded a live album at Abbey Road on 9 December 1969. Only "Out Demons Out / Momma's Reward (Keep Them Freaks A-Rollin')" was released in 1970. What happened with the whole recordings? I read somewhere it was lost for 30 years? In 2004 there was finally released live album with recordings called "Keep Them Freaks a Rollin' - Live at Abbey Road, December 1969".

I don’t believe any thing was lost. EMI will always find a way to get more mileage out of old material if there is any commercial potential in it. They will dig deep to add some unreleased material to their re-packaged offerings and that is what happened.
