• Track Listing

Formed by ex-Rebel Rouser Cliff Bennett and ex-Gods members John Glascock, Ken Hensley and Lee Kerslake (those last two would later join Uriah Heep), Toe Fat won raves for their fusion of hard rock and prog but never rose above cult fame. Their self-titled debut came out on Parlophone (and, in the U.S., on the Motown imprint Rare Earth). The Regal Zonophone label put out "Toe Fat 2" a year later, and that was followed by one single before the band broke up. All that stuff has become highly collectible, and here it is: "Bad Side of the Moon" (an early Elton John/Bernie Taupin composition), "There’ll Be Changes" (featuring an uncredited Peter Green on guitar), "Nobody," "Idol," the single sides "Brand New Band," "Can’t Live Without You" and more! Esoteric.
