{"title":"Budgie Vinyl Records","description":"\u003cp\u003eBudgie is a Welsh hard rock band that was formed in 1967. The band was originally composed of Burke Shelley on bass and vocals, Tony Bourge on guitar, and Ray Phillips on drums. Budgie's first album, titled \"Budgie,\" was released in 1971 and was a commercial success. The album featured some of the band's most popular songs, such as \"Breadfan,\" \"Baby Please Don't Go,\" and \"Guts.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBudgie's follow-up albums, \"Squawk\" and \"Never Turn Your Back on a Friend,\" were also successful. The band's most successful album, however, was 1974's \"In for the Kill,\" which featured the hit single \"Crash Course in Brain Surgery.\" The album went to number 12 on the UK Albums Chart and was certified gold in the UK.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the late 1970s and early 1980s, Budgie released several more albums, including \"Impeckable,\" \"Deliver Us From Evil,\" and \"Power Supply.\" In 1985, Budgie disbanded and reformed in 1988 with a new lineup, but failed to recapture their former commercial success.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBudgie's music is often credited as an influence on the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and many modern metal bands, such as Metallica, Megadeth, and Iron Maiden.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn interesting fact about Budgie is that they were the first band to be signed by Jet Records, a label founded by the former manager of Led Zeppelin, Peter Grant.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"budgie-budgie-40539","title":"Budgie – Budgie","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Brand New\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBudgie, released in July 1971, is the self-titled debut from the Welsh power trio. The album ushers in a raw, heavy sound that would come to influence early metal, fusing blues-rock energy with fuzzed riffs, prominent bass, and a trio dynamic that maximizes space and force. Burke Shelley’s high-register vocals ride atop driving riffs by Tony Bourge and solid, punchy drums by Ray Phillips. Songs like “Guts” and “Nude Disintegrating Parachutist Woman” showcase the band’s blend of heaviness and eccentricity, while acoustic interludes like “Everything in My Heart” provide contrast and texture. \nAs a proto-metal landmark, Budgie’s debut forged a path between hard rock and the heavier directions to come. Its eccentric song titles and surprising structural shifts hint at a band unafraid to explore beyond convention, even on a bold first statement. Over time, the album has been reappraised as essential listening for those tracing the evolution of metal, marking an important early chapter in the genre’s development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReviews\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“For those seriously interested in metal’s development, bombastic treasures like ‘Homicidal Suicidal,’ and ‘Nude Disintegrating Parachutist Woman’ are essential listening.” – AllMusic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Although specialising in heads-down, no-nonsense riffage, their albums all included acoustic interludes … which, by accident or design, made everything else sound even heavier.” – Louder (Album of the Week Club)\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e Budgie\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Fly Records, Noteworthy Productions\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_uk\"\u003eUK\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-music-on-vinyl-records\"\u003eMetal\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/classic-rock\"\u003eClassic Rock\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hard-rock\"\u003eHard Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Budgie+Guts\"\u003eGuts\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Budgie+Everything+In+My+Heart\"\u003eEverything In My Heart\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Budgie+The+Author\"\u003eThe Author\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Budgie+Nude+Disintegrating+Parachutist+Woman\"\u003eNude Disintegrating Parachutist Woman\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Budgie+Rape+Of+The+Locks\"\u003eRape Of The Locks\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Budgie+All+Night+Petrol\"\u003eAll Night Petrol\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Budgie+You+And+I\"\u003eYou And I\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Budgie+Homicidal+Suicidal\"\u003eHomicidal Suicidal\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Fly Records, Noteworthy Productions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32134613663809,"sku":"5386121","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/bfb7bd3147af7ef22829455b47add379_0d7c4b41-2069-4cc2-aa49-77b6080baf82.jpg?v=1731213308"},{"product_id":"budgie-never-turn-your-back-on-a-friend-40540","title":"Budgie – Never Turn Your Back On A Friend","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Brand New\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eNever Turn Your Back on a Friend is Budgie's third album, released in June 1973.
