HACKENSACK -Up The Hardway (1973 Classic, raw UK blues-hard-rock ) SMALL DING DISCOUNT! LP

VERY small ding, our picky distributor finds em all, most wouldn't notice them,  and gives me a nice discount, which I’m passing on to YOU.

Includes a 8-page insert telling the comprehensive history of the group from their Gas Avenue roots in 1969 to 2019, plus many rare photos and memorabilia.

This is  the first ever official vinyl reissue, a must for all fans of a band who deserved to be as big as Free, touring with them twice, yet ultimately let down by Island Records.

*8-page insert reproducing the original insert plus extensive liner notes by Pete Sarfas & rare photos / memorabilia

Classic, raw UK blues-hard-rock from 1973 featuring powerful guitar player / vocalist Nicky Moore.From original masters. Insert with full band history by Pete Sarfas of Audio Archives plus rare photos and memorabilia.

With a name taken from a Thelonious Monk album track, Hackensack became in the early 70s one of Britain's hardest rocking and hardest working acts and are still remembered fondly today by those who experienced their unforgettable, powerhouse live shows. “Up The Hard Way” was their debut album, recorded in late '73 at De Lane Lea Studios, Wembley , and released the following year on the Polydorlabel, housed in a fab sleeve by Jim Fitzpatrick.

Musically, it’s a varied album which goes from hard-rock to blues and rural rock.
