A thrilling, no-holdck treatment of a clutch of riff-based but commercial pop tunes, Megatons sole album has plenty of admirers these days. Perhaps this should be a rock label staple , but the LPs origins are more pop than that, with more akin to those ranks of over looked production library classics recorded for one purpose and taking on a different guise and importance to collectors years later. For Megaton is the creative inspiration of vocal harmony leader Les Humphries (as in The Les Humphries Singers , big hit makers in early 70s Germany) and his writing partner/right hand LHS man, Jimmy Bilsbury. Perhaps having the likes of future Uriah Heep vocalist John Lawton in the midst of the LHS was an inspiration, but whatever, Humphries nose for a commercial opportunity sniffed out the Free, Led Zep hard rock/ blues rock market and he duly delivered.
