Is anyone going to get this album? If you haven't heard of it, it is a collection of demos that Les Carlsen did around the time he was also touring doing the musical "Hair" (so before he was in Bloodgood).
CMD has it available on CD if you are interested and it looks like you can preview the entire album on Bandcamp. It is very "70's-Psychedelic Rock" sounding (and not really my thing, but some of it does sound kind of cool...just something I probably wouldn't listen to repeatedly).
Here is the bandcamp link. https://lesandjoycecarlsen.bandcamp.com/album/les-carlsen-1971

To be honest, I thought I would pass. After listening to some of the songs on Bandcamp, I dig it! I listen to some early stuff by Alice Cooper, Bad Company, Aerosmith, etc., and this is right there with those releases in style. I don't think I would play it often, but I would play this.

Really? Ive sorted debating getting it... but just wasnt sure... I'll take a listen on Bandcamp... I've bought a lot of stuff recently for White Throne Metal Radio and while I know this wont be metal... (Heck I play Big Chris from time to time)... I just didnt want to blow another $14 on something I will only enjoy once for the novelty... Stryper's Roxx Regime demo for instance...

I like that stuff Chris mentioned too but this is demo quality stuff. If it was cleaned up i'd be more into it.

Same here. Interesting music, crossing between hard hitting and melodic (at least from the one video in the OP), but the sound quality kills it for me.
