And our featured track from this weeks set: Hardstuff's 'Monster In Paradise', from the LP 'Bulletproof', released in 1972

Hard Stuff was the band formed by Paul Hammond and John Du Cann from Atomic Rooster, and one of the hardest working bassist in rock, John Gustafson (Quatermass, Roxy Music, The Merseybeats, The Big Three, Episode Six). 'The Rooster' were one of the hardest rocking bands of the early 70's, and Gustavson (who had played in Episode Six with Ian Gillan and Roger Glover, pre-Deep Purple) was no stranger to hard rock, so it'll come as no surprise that both the albums released by Hard Stuff live up to their name!

With listeners on both sides of the atlantic, Stonehenge remains committed to diversity, quality, education, mellotron, vinyl and giving the people what they want!
