USA - (red) Capitol Records - ST 797 - PROMO
Hard to find and very collectibly sought after comes the mighty FUZZROCKER "HEAD OVER HEELS" ...a tastey 1970 power guitar trio with cool moves and strong original songs across both sides...
Killer 70s hard rock power trio from Michigan led by guitarist & vocalist Paul Frank who's wild acid rock guitar solo's dominate this great release. Recorded in 1971 on Capitol records this album instantly achieved cult status and sits in well with bands such as Damnation, Power Of Zeus, Bang!, Grand Funk's first two albums, and other early '70's US long hair heavy rock bands of the style...only Head Over Heels seems a lot harder to find, probably due to Capitol's limited pressing of their only album...Showcasing a line up consisting of drummer John Bredeau, singer/guitarst Paul Frank and singer/bassist Michael Urso, the HEAD OVER HEELS only managed to release one instantly obscure album, but what an LP! Produced by Dan Moore and Buzz Clifford, 1971's Head Over Heels is simply great. Loud, tough, yet surprisingly accessible, material such as Road Runner and In My Woman showcased the trio's knack for melodic, but crunching guitar rock. Frank and Urso had attractive voices and as we said before, they sure could generate some sound. Among the few missteps were some out of kilter harmony vocals (Question) and the bland power ballad Children Of The Mist (which was almost redeemed by Frank's nice guitar solo).
Elsewhere, recorded at Detroit's Eastowne, an extended take of Red Rooster and the Franks-penned Circles were in-concert efforts that aptly showcased the band's impressive live chops.
Frank and Urso subsequently reappeared with the band Fresh Start. Urso was also a late-inning member of Detroit's Rare Earth (along with the Scorpion guitarist Ray Monette), playing on several of their albums in the mid-70s.
