The book Back To The Egg: Budgie's Influential Early Years 1967-73 covers the early days of the influential Welsh rockers.
Budgie's First Three Albums, released in March 2013, covers the early days of the influential Welsh rockers, from 1967 to 1973. Budgie made a sizeable – but often overlooked – contribution to the evolution of heavy rock and metal. Against the odds, the little band from Wales helped to define and shape a new genre. The original line-up of Burke Shelley, Tony Bourge and Ray Phillips made three albums in three years at Rockfield Studios – a converted farmhouse in rolling countryside near Monmouth in South Wales. Includes photos on stage, off-stage and in the studio (many of which you won't have seen before), gig flyers, ticket stubs, songwriting contracts, royalty statements, MCA promotional flyers, press clippings, etc). Includes lots of interview material from Ray Phillips, Burke Shelley and Tony Bourge. There are photos and comments from photographer Fin Costello, and comments from Windsor Walby – who funded Budgie's trip to London in 1970 to record a demo. First edition sold out. Second edition Back To The Egg: Budgie's Influential Early Years 1967-73 is available now.
