OK, this is concept album. In general, I do not like album concepts but this is different. The Groundhogs cover a lot of bases with TCFTB, from Blues to Hard Rock with a lot of experimentation in between. Unlike may concept records the tracks are mostly quite short & there are even a couple of radio friendly ones in there (Strange Town & Eccentric Man are particularly good). Also, the more experimental tracks work very well, although the title track seems a bit dated now. The only trouble really are some of the lyrics. These often come across as a bit basic & awkward, as if a 15 year-old had written them. But thats often the way when songwriters are constrained by the concept format.
Overrall, it's brilliant & TS McPhee it the most underrated guitarist in the world.

I used to listen to this at full volume on my mum's old radiogram which I hooked up to a second amp so I could get it even louder. Fortunately the people next door liked it as well, but in consideration to them I only played it loud while they were out. I saw the Groundhogs live in Manchester in the early seventies and Tony McPhee didn't disappoint. I agree that McPhee is underrated as a guitarist and I personally find the band can be as exciting as any rock/blues band. While most of my friends seem to think of Split as a better album, TCFTB won me over and still comes out tops.

As with the Robin Trower set,packaging and information are minimal and the music is the master,5 original Groundhogs discs spread over 3 discs,once again a decent remaster,a very underated almost forgotten band by all but the die hards,still have a mate that comes over all misty eyed at the mere mention of the 'Hogs.
The classics are here such as 'Split 1-4 ' 'Cherry Red',do yourself a favour invest in this set,see what all the fuss was about,you wont regret it.

Thank Christ for the Bomb
A great Groundhogs album. If you're a fan of Tony McPhee, this is an unmissable addition to your collection. They were a great success at the IOW festival and this proves why.
