Album bio courtesy "The Red Hippie" blog...

Volume 1 is the First and only Album by the American Hard-Rock Psychedelic Band The Adventures Of Robert Savage.
Little is known about this Band, apart from the fact that Robert Savage and Bobby Arlin (The Hook, The Leaves) are one in the same. I really don't know what else I can say about them, because there is really little or no information. The Cover-Art may be misleading, as I thought this was a Medieval Prog Rock Album, rather than a hard/blues rock album upon first purchasing it during the early 70's..
The opening song on the LP, "Beaver Baby" starts with a strong Guitar Riff, very groovy, and some extraordinary Vocal work, especially the Female. The song is very powerful, and it is undoubtedly one of the best songs in the Album. "Milk Run" there are parts of the song that are extremely enjoyable, the Vocals for instance, have some great moments (some weren't so great) and the Guitar Solo is also something which should not be discarded. "Don´t Run And Hide" best part is the Refrain, which unfortunately is repeated only a few times, for a music this long. The Drums take the lead role in "A Hard One", which is a very Soul-full song, with Jimi Hendrix like Vocals. In my opinion, "7 Days Drunk" would be better off without the Guitars, because it has some very catchy moments, but they don't correspond to the Guitar lines. The longest song on the Album is probably also the weakest "Save Us From The Cyclops", is extremely tedious, and has the smell of something that has been rotten for ages. "Amy" starts bad, but it starts getting better and better, until the moment where a Guitar full of effects, starts a Kick-Ass Solo. "Road Apples" is truly a great finale. A 4 and an half minutes instrumental Jam, with a fantastic Guitar work and an amazing Beat. It is truly the best end this Record could have.
Volume 1 indicates that they intended to record more Albums, but it never happened.

Very good stuff!! Thanks for posting. Robert Savage and Bobby Arlin of "The Leaves " and "Hook" fame are one and the same.

@dbm19701

Yes...the resemblance is quite apparent. I've been a fan of both of those bands for many years as well :)

Please see my "The Hook" video. I've included it as a "video response" here on this page. It features the songs; Lookin' For You, Homes, and Garbage Man.

Cheers!

Duuuuude! I saw this record the other day and passed on it. D'oh! This is freaking me out! So rad! That cover reminds me of a cross between the Hobbit and the old Cinderella(Disney)battle scene. I think it may have been re-issued?

When I purchased this LP many years ago, I was expecting some medieval progressive rock...talk about misleading album cover art, Lol. Nevertheless, I was delighted upon hearing it. To my knowledge, it was reissued on CD during the early 00's sometime.
