No Classic Rock Album this week due to baseball being broadcast. I hate baseball. However, what we did have time for was a face-blast of seriously classic underground rock music! Here's Junior Hanson with one of the standout jams of the show that night, taken from the Hanson LP 'Now Hear This', released on Manticore in 1973 (and featuring Keith Emerson's Moog, kindly loaned to the band in the studio!).

A delicious full-length show this week, kicked off in style with the fine sounds of the Charlatans self-titled debut LP from 1969. These guys are said to be the first group to ever perform live on acid, back in 1965, which may go some way to explain why it took them so long to release an album! Sorely overlooked at the time, the group sounds great today:
