Nowadays, supergroups – bands whose members have created a name for themselves elsewhere – crop up at an overwhelming rate and, more often than not, appear faceless. It was different fifty years ago, when such collectives were rare and distinctive, if not necessary successful, as proven by the story of MOONRIDER. A quartet of TOMORROW singer Keith West, guitarist John Weider of THE ANIMALS, FAMILY and STUD fame, future THE ATTRACTIONS bassist Bruce Thomas, and drummer Chico Greenwood issued only one longplay in 1975 that, despite the strength of ten pieces on offer, flopped – and will reappear, with quite a few bonus tracks, on December 12th.
