Natural Gas Natural Gas (Vinyl - Private Stock Records, 1976) ***
Genre: Apple/ Dark Horse Records (of course Private Stock is neither of those but I group Badfinger related albums all together)
Places I remember: Real Groovy Records
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Christmas Song
Gear costume: Little Darlin'
Active compensatory factors: Of course, Joey Molland's voice is very familiar from those Badfinger songs, but hardly anyone remembers this band. The band is obscure enough that there is not even a wikipedia article on them!
On the surface it's a supergroup of sorts. Some of the bands the membership of Natural Gas have been part of: Badfinger, Humble Pie, Colosseum, Uriah Heep, Rare Bird, Sutherland Brothers & Quiver.
It's a nice collection of largely undistinguished songs from various band members. Naturally, I'm more partial to Joey's tunes, but even his contribution doesn't come anywhere near his Badfinger output.
Where do they all belong? Natural Gas was a brief interlude before Joey went back to the Badfinger name with Tom Evans.

Information is not knowledge; knowledge is not wisdom; wisdom is not truth; truth is not beauty; beauty is not love; love is not music; MUSIC IS THE BEST - FRANK ZAPPA.
