Saucy blues-rockers Juicy Lucy formed in 1969 from the ashes of cult-favourite garage band the Misunderstood, reuniting vocalist Ray Owen, steel guitarist Glenn "Ross" Campbell, and keyboardist Chris Mercer.

With the additions of guitarist Neil Hubbard, bassist Keith Ellis, and drummer Pete Dobson, the group immediately notched a U.K. Top 20 hit with their reading of the Bo Diddley perennial "Who Do You Love," with their self-titled debut LP falling just shy of the Top 40. Ex-Zoot Money singer Paul Williams, guitarist Mick Moody, and drummer Rod Coombes replaced Owen, Hubbard, and Dobson for 1970's Lie Back and Enjoy It, with bassist Jim Leverton assuming Ellis' duties for the follow-up, 1971's Get a Whiff a This.

The constant turnover clearly took its toll on the group both creatively and commercially, with co-founders Campbell and Mercer both exiting prior to the fourth Juicy Lucy album, 1972's Pieces, which was recorded by a line-up of Williams, Moody, keyboardist Jean Roussel, and the former Blodwyn Pig rhythm section of bassist Andy Pyle and drummer Ron Berg. Juicy Lucy finally disbanded shortly thereafter.

Review from Head Heritage:

That these guys have connections not just separation of six degrees from Slade, SNAFU, and, for God’s Sake, Whitesnake, shows you what sort of molecular tendencies you’re dealing with. Flight or Fight? How about both? Sometimes this stuff comes at you like five-million micrograms of pure-as-the-driven-snow L-S-D, grabbing your brain like a twenty-foot tall set of tongs and tossing it off into the aether like a cold coal run out of its heat. Other times it retreats like the floor under your feet after that entire quart of 151 proof rum managed to sneak its way into your bloodstream. Considering the considerable gifts of this collective, it’s a bit off-putting to note that Glenn-Goddamned-Campbell is not only on the roster, he’s also writing most of the material, singing, stinging, and strumming.

I don’t know; I mean, John F--kin’ Peel did cricket bat this one out of the park. He championed The Juice for good, valid reasons: Campbell was a pseudo ex-pat, an American in England, quaffing up the local Bitter and sucking back pack-after-pack of Silk Cuts. Maybe it was his lap steel playing? – His guitar work? They’re both commendable, tasty, chunky bits of fudge to cavity your teeth with. And even if you thought you couldn’t bear another cover of “Pretty Woman” or “Whiskey In My Jar”, you’re more than physically capable of shouldering this load; all the psychic baggage gets lost in the sauce; by the time Campbell is sneering his way through the rhythms wanton of “Willie the Pimp”, you’ll either be on eBay, bidding on all Juicy Lucy ephemera available, or taking mementos private with visions of Carmen Miranda curdling your brain.

To our regular customers outside Europe - unfortunately we have had to increase combined postage charges to non-European destinations. We have tried to hold off doing this for a long time but have been losing so much money on these packages that the increase is now unavoidable.

*********DOUBLES COUNT AS TWO*********

---------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SEVEN (7) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
