After leaving the Yardbirds, Keith Relf worked on a number of interesting projects, one of them being the last Steamhammer album 'Speech' in 1972. Following the dissolution of Steamhammer, Relf recruited Steamhammer's Martin Pugh and Louis Cennamo (who had also been in Renaissance), and Bobby Caldwell (of Captain Beyond and many more) to form Armageddon in 1974. Their self-titled debut was released in 1975, and is a true under-the-radar Classic Rock Album.

For the anoraks and train-spotters (that means super-fans, or nerds, I guess), here's a cool little video about Bobby Caldwell I found online:

Some cosmic symbolism this week, I'm sure, as the palindromic 8-8-8 show saw us celebrating the 41st birthday of the Classic Rock Album: the Jimi Hendrix Experience's 'Are you Experienced?' How many times does 8 go into 41? And what if 6 turned out to be 9?
