Product Description

MIGHTY KONG
(CD)
[ERA : 70s / Rock ]
When Daddy Cool broke up in August 1972, Wilson and Ross Hannaford set about forming a new band that would explore a heavier style that harked back to the pre-DC days of Sons Of The Vegetal Mother and The Party Machine. After some initial changes, that at one stage included Tim Gaze (Tamam Shud / Kahvas Jute) and Gulliver Smith (Company Caine), the final line-up was settled with Wilson, Hannaford, Russell Smith (Company Caine), Tim Partridge (Company Caine) and Ray Arnott (Spectrum). Signing to the newly formed Wizard Records, the band recorded All I Wanna Do Is Rock with American producer John Fischbach & the album came out in December 1973. Despite some enthusiastic reviews and excellent live shows, Mighty Kong were still overshadowed by the spectre of Daddy Cool. Wizard's decision to release a Daddy Cool live album and a swag of DC singles just before the release of the Mighty Kong album did not help matters either. The success of the Daddy Cool material eventually led to a one-off Daddy Cool appearance at the 1974 Sunbury Festival. Their performance was so well received that, two weeks later, Daddy Cool reformed and Mighty Kong were no more. The deluxe reissue has been digitally remastered by Gil Matthews, liner notes by Ian McFarlane, housed in a 6 panel digi-pak with many rare photos. There are 2 bonus tracks, the single version of CallinÕ All Cats and the previously unreleased studio jam of All I Wanna Do Is Rock.
All Through the Day (And into the Night We Play) * CallinÕ All Cats (The Cats are CallinÕ) * Some Other New Address * Hard Drugs (Are Bad for You) * All I Wanna Do is Rock!! #1 * Jungle in My Blood * Got My Beliefs * With a Smile Like That (How Could We Refuse) * Homesick & Horny (Ross Wilson) * BONUS TRACKS : Callin' All Cats (The Cats Are Callin') (single version) * All I Wanna Do is Rock (previously unreleased studio jam)
