I would rate this album with 5 stars - for me it is one of the most important recent releases. At the same time, it may be one of the most acclaimed albums. It’s a mature hard’n neavy band from the ’70s (often called“ progressive, ”but it’s like we’re going to call Deep Purple“ progressive ”).
The band was a short-lived and unfortunate idea by Peter Spearing, an amazing guitarist and composer. Before founding "Stonehouse", he toured Germany 66-67, filmed several videos for Deutsche Vogue, and even appeared on Bremen TV. Upon his return to the UK, he released several singles at Decca and Columbia. "Stonehouse" appeared in 1970 with James (Jimmy) Smith on vocals - a powerful high-pitched voice, almost hysterical on "The Hobo" and screaming like a lost soul on "Cheater" ; and Ian Snow (“Snowy”) on drums, while Terry Parker provided solid bass. The band soon offered RCA a contract, and in just 3 (!) Days at Advision Studios in London, they recorded "Stonehouse Creek 1971" named after a small locality in Plymouth, known as Tinkies and "Deadlake" - in the time of Queen Victoria.

STONEHOUSE - STONEHOUSE CREEK (1971 UK SUPERB HEAVY / HARD ROCK) EAC> FLAC + .CUE + LOG + SCANHello to all connoisseurs of good music, to compensate a little for the long absence of fasting, here is another British firecracker for your pleasure!

It’s absolutely useless to compare the band to the rest, but it’s remarkably hard-hitting, reminiscent somehow of “Rare Bird” (first two LPs), early “Led Zeppelin” (without unnecessary lengthy solos) and “Deep Purple”. Jimmy Smith is pretty close to Clark Hutchinson's madness Free To Be Stoned - The Complete Collection of Decca Recordings,
and Paul Rodgers from “Free” sounds pretty quiet and tame next to him. Peter Spearing's music must be heard. Unfortunately, the band split after the album was released, James Smith and Ian Snow joined "Asgard" (signed by Moody Blues Threshold). This CD is the DIGIPACK release of the new German label "Universum" - 11 songs (rerun of "Stonehouse Creek" sounds like a bonus)
A real collector's piece and tons of pleasures guaranteed - dirt cheap at this price! (written by ladislav živanović ...)
Ovaj bih album ocijenio s 5 zvjezdica - za mene je to jedno od najvažnijih nedavnih izdanja. Istodobno, možda je to jedan od najcjenjenijih albuma. To je zreli hard'n neavy bend iz 70-ih (često ga nazivaju "progresivnim", ali kao da ćemo Deep Purple nazvati "progresivnim").
Bend je bio kratkotrajna i nesretna zamisao Petera Spearinga, nevjerojatnog gitarista i skladatelja. Prije nego što je osnovao "Stonehouse", obišao je Njemačku 66-67., Snimio nekoliko spotova za Deutsche Vogue, čak se pojavio i na Bremen TV. Nakon povratka u UK objavio je nekoliko singlova na Decci i Columbiji."Stonehouse" se pojavio 1970. s Jamesom (Jimmyjem) Smithom na vokalu - snažni glas visokog tona, koji gotovo histerizira na "Skitnici" i vrišti poput izgubljene duše na "Cheateru"; i Ian Snow ("Snowy") na bubnjevima, dok je Terry Parker pružio solidne basove. RCA-u je bend ubrzo ponudio ugovor, a u samo 3 (!) dana u Advision Studios u Londonu snimili su "Stonehouse Creek 1971" nazvan po malom lokalitetu u Plymouthu, poznatom kao Tinkies i "Deadlake" - u doba kraljice Viktorije.

STONEHOUSE - STONEHOUSE CREEK (1971. UK SUPERB HEAVY / HARD ROCK) EAC> FLAC + .CUE + LOG + SCANSPozdrav svim znalcima dobre glazbe, za kompenzaciju malo o dugom odsustvu posta, evo još jednog britanskog petarda za vaše zadovoljstvo!

Apsolutno je beskorisno uspoređivati bend s ostalima, ali to je izvrsno teško težak, podsjeća nekako na "Rijetku pticu" (prva dva LP-a), rani "Led Zeppelin" (bez nepotrebnih dugotrajnih solaža) i "Deep Purple". Jimmy Smith prilično je blizu ludilu Clarka Hutchinsona Free To Be Stoned - The Complete Zbornik Decca Recordings,
a Paul Rodgers iz "Free" zvuči prilično tiho i pripitomljeno pokraj njega. Mora se čuti muziciranje Petera Spearinga. Nažalost, bend se podijelio nakon izdavanja albuma, James Smith i Ian Snow su se pridružili "Asgardu" (potpisan od strane izdavačke kuće Moody Blues Threshold).
