Bedlam – Bedlam (Vinyl)

Description

Bedlam is the sole studio album by the short-lived but explosive British quartet featuring legendary drummer Cozy Powell (Black Sabbath, Jeff Beck, Rainbow). Released in 1973, the record stands as a fierce intersection of blues-rock, hard rock, and early heavy metal, emerging from the same English blues revival that shaped Cream, Free, and the first wave of the British “proto-metal” sound.

With vocalist Frank Aiello, guitarist Dave Ball (formerly of Procol Harum), bassist Denny Ball, and production from Felix Pappalardi (Mountain), the album blends soulful intensity with thunderous riffs and high-energy musicianship. Bedlam remains a cult favorite—raw, powerful, and charged with the spirit of early 1970s rock.
