Reaction - Reaction (1972 germany, solid heavy bluesy rock, 2013 edition)



This is a Hamburg hard rock trio that presented their debut album in the spring of 1972. The cover of the LP is impressive: a white mouse on a blue cactus. However, the album was hardly noticed at the time, so it soon became hard to find. As a result, aficionados were paying a little more than usual. This German trio was an equally loud and aggressive band, eager to surpass the blues based guitar rock of Cream and Hendrix.
