The Roll 'Em, Smoke 'Em album by Patto includes Loud Green Song, which is earth-shatteringly heavy! It is difficult to understand how Ollie Halsall was so ignored. I suppose, like Budgie, they could not break out of the clubs. Mike Patto released a version of Sitting in the Park as a single, but, despite some airplay, it did not sell. It is a wonderful song, but his version is as rare as hens' teeth.

A lot of this stuff I aim to remedy in my "Hard, Heavy and a Classic section" where I'm thinking of doing from time to time, random historical entries of other stuff worth listening to. I'm already planning one for some obscure Black Sabbath type bands that I know of, but before that will do one covering blues based bands and other genres.
