A few short years ago, if you had wanted to listen to this record you would have had to buy a poor quality bootleg or spend upwards of £1,000 for one of the 200 copies that comprised the entire original 1971 pressing. Tapping the same wave of down-tuned, heavy psych that informed contemporaries like Black Sabbath and the Stooges, Fraction were a working-class group who would rehearse and record early in the morning before going to their day jobs. Thanks to that dedication there is a spacious sort of loneliness at the heart of the noise they make. The five songs that made up the original album were recorded live in a single three-hour session with no FX and no overdubs – Singer Jim Beach’s ragged growl has been likened to Jim Morrison, while guitarist Don Swanson pushes the wah-wah and fuzz to the limit. Moon Blood is a brilliantly odd record, a snapshot of a time. Naturally, the band never got anywhere and for decades barely anyone, bar the most obsessed, got to hear them.
