This track is my 2nd favourite Groundhogs track, I remember the music box in Erdington (Birmingham UK) promoting this with cardboard cut outs of the band, I learnt a new word "nefarious" and even me mum read the cover! exploding leg, x ray specs and all. It's timeless!
@BillMinworth ah... Cheers Bill. I loved the grounds the moment I first heard/bought scratching the surface. I think TS is the only white man to grasp the blues, properly. Not sure what my favorite is but Miss Ogyny and Junk man would definitely be in the frame, oh and eccentric man and... Cheers Ray.
@ray123ification Hi, friend, it's on "Black Diamond". Past, future, get it? ... what many people don't know is I once bought Black Diamond only to discover that the flip side was the classical Unfinished Symphony. You can imagine my consternation!
Thanks for posting this fine song. When it came out in '72 I bought the first copy that hit the store. It, and the rest of my records, burned in a fire. It's great to hear these tunes again.
Absolutely. I could write you 30 pages as to how very right you are, but postprandial vodka is beginning to take effect. Thrust of my argument being: TS got there long before 'twas fashionable, PC ...
who's the ONE dickhole that don't get it?! holy stupidhead, Batman!!

Probably my favourite Hogs track - the chords are so different to anything else.

@BillMinworth Sorry, I have to ask, 'What is your favorite'.. The suspense is too much!!

'Sad go round' from Solid, which I believe was a single back in the day. I've never seen him do it live though.

As of this date, 4,335 wankers didn't know how to work the "Like" button. God must love stupid people, he made so many of them...

Have not lost any luster or power since I bought "Scratching the Surface" in cutouts in 1970....
