Hard stoner metal from England
Guitars come out blazing and never stop
Record was originally put out in Germany and then in England on Decca
OG copies are dumb rare and trade for nutty sums
Been reissued a lot tho
Supposedly the band name Leaf Hound (and the song titles) come from a collection of horror stories by British writer Herbert van Thal
69-71
Just put out the one album
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_van_Thal
But members went on to be in Foghat, Atomic Rooster, and a band that had ex-integrants of Vanilla Fudge
Peter French on vocals

Atomic Rooster is pretty nice too for prog-lovers like me
But I’m particularly partial to Leaf Hound
Per internet, recorded in 11 hours!
Freelance Fiend has a line that says “I’m gonna build all my castles on top of my dreams”
Maybe a reference to the famous line from Walden?
Don McLean had not yet put out Castles in the Air
I don’t think
Unclear if they appeared with Jerry Lewis on the Colgate comedy hour
Now where’s my gazpacho?
