Hard/Heavy Psychedelic Rock

LINK

Quintessentially British hard-rock, transforming the blues in a way American bands rarely did, vocal intensity. Orang-Utan were in fact a London based band called Hunter. They recorded their sole album in 1971 at DeLane Lea studios. In a bizarre twist of events, their producer and manager ran with the tapes to the US, where they placed the album on Bell Records under a new band name Orang-Utan.
