WHAT's NEW
[Top (page index)] [Up] [Down] [Bottom (site index)]What's new on this web page?
If you see the date changing on this page, without an announcement in this section, it is probably something like fixing minor coding problems, spelling errors, minor layout changes, new page on this site (so I changed bottom index), ... Any major changes to this page, will be announced here.
June 6, 2023. Tony McPhee passed away. Here is a writen obituary from The Guardian.. Here is video tribute to Tony McPhee.
July 18, 2005. I just noticed that the ezBoard message board that I had set up for this web site had been deleted. Since restoration of the deleted conference is only available to subscribers to their service, and since the activity was relatively light, I not planning on looking for another message board. If you do think a message board is worth while, or you have a message board that you like, let me know and I may promote it here. As always you can contact me here.
September 3, 2004. I just noticed that the early CDs are being reissued with bonus tracks (mostly live BBC performances).
September 23, 2001. Tony TS McPhee had a series of partial strokes from Thursday 6th to Saturday 8th September. Nothing serious. He is now again taking medicine to reduce blood pressure, and is about 85% recovered. And, so, the band are continuing to play their scheduled Upcoming Shows.
April 2, 2001. While this is NOT an official site, it looks like we will be posting information on upcoming shows for the Groundhogs. If you do manage to see/talk with the band, let them know that you found about the show at chromeoxide.com!
I will also be posting other news/updates/information about the band in the Intro section of this page.
March 10, 2001. It looks like I may have been premature in moving to a new web hosting site. I just found out that whenever Tripod.com is having hardware or software problems with their servers, they put up a message for the webmaster that their site is in violation of terms, and the web site has been deleted (instead of a message about system problems and try again later). Anyway, I believed Tripod.com when they said they deleted my account, so I will be moving, and making chromeoxide.com my new home on the web.
March 10, 2001. As long as I am moving my entire site, I decided to make a few changes to the layout of the individual pages, and the web site in general, including (but not limited to) I removed the counter, and moved the listings of mirror sites to the bottom of the page, ...
March 6, 2001. Sometime between March 1 to March 5, 2001 Tripod deleted my account/web site. The last stats Tripod gave me were 9,000+ visitors per month. Since my site is so popular, I have decided to keep it going, in spite of this major setback. But rather than trying to build up another free web site, and possibly deal with this problem again, I decided go with CommandLine.net to host the new chromeoxide.com.
October 31, 2000. The new Chrome Oxide Music Collectors Pages Message Board is provided by EZBoard.
September 19, 2000. Real-Music notified me that the Groundhogs will be playing December 8, 2000, Shropshire.
October 31, 1999. There used to be a complete listing of all the bands featured on this site at the bottom of each page on this site. The complete band list has now been moved to the Site Map.
Back in June 1997 when I started this site, the index at the bottom of the page seemed like a good idea. Due to the amazing growth of this site, I now think that the Site Map is a better way to do it.
I will continue to list the featured band of the month at the bottom of each page on this site.
December 3, 2002 CD Now is undergoing changes, and asked that ALL links be removed.
October 28, 1999 I signed up with CD Now.October 22, 1999. The Chrome Oxide Music Collector Pages web site hit the big time! And I didn't even know it.
Tripod stats showed that this web site had more than 4,000 unique visitors last month (September 1999). Because of that, Tripod has increased my web space from 11mb to 50mb.
August 4, 1999. I started creating this page. :-)

INTRO:
[Top (page index)] [Up] [Down] [Bottom (site index)]In 1963, England, Tony McPhee started playing the blues with various people. The band name was derived from a John Lee Hooker tune. His band performed their own music, and worked as a backup band for many visiting American blues musicians (on stage, and in the studio) including Jack Dupree, John Lee Hooker, ... This version of the band lasted until March 1966 when it broke up.
In 1968 Tony McPhee reformed the band. Again, starting off as a straight ahead blues band. This time, however, they started changing their style as they progressed from album to album. Their sound evolved from their original blues style, to a much harder/heavier rock sound. They broke up again in 1974.
In 1976 the band was started up again, recorded a few more albums, and broke up again in 1977.
In 1985 the band was started up again, recorded a few more albums, personnel changed, ....
All during this time, Tony McPhee was occasionally releasing a solo album, or working as a backup musician on other folks albums.
I liked the 1968 - 1972 version of the band (it is actually the only version of the band that I have managed to pick up records for), so that is the version of the band that this page will most heavily cover.
April 5, 2001, Groundhog news from Tony McPhee :
This has turned out to be a very eventful year so far: Dave Anderson back in the band, Double CD of Back Against The Wall and Hogs On The Road out now, Solid at last released legitimately on CD and the first Radio sessions being re-released soon.
The Italian company Blue Flame are releasing a couple of CDs, The Lost Tapes, recorded in 1989 when Jon Camp was in the band and a live recording from 1994 when he had Eric Chipulina, Pete Correa and Alan Fish in the band, recorded in Milan.
Comments and corrections would be appreciated.
And of course, any audio-video-print additions to my collection would be appreciated.
I am also interested in getting wider exposure for this site. So links from your site to mine would be appreciated. And if you know of any sites that allow/encourage submission, I would also appreciate knowing about them as well.
Do you have any articles, books, albums, tapes, CDs, ... on this band that you would like reviewed and / or integrated into this page?
Do you have any other band that you would like to see a page for on this site?

MusicStack looks like a good source of used music items (LPs, CDs, posters, ...).
As always, let me know what you think.

Back in October 1999 I put up links to CD-Now so that visitors could easily link to the related band pages and instantly see which items were still in print/available for purchase. CD-Now no longer has that option. For the moment I am putting in Amazon.com search boxes. Amazon.com doesn't easily allow for links to individual band pages in the same way that CD-Now used to. So, instead of me being able to create direct links, I have put up the Amazon.com search box instead. So you can still go to a page with the various bands products, buy you now need to go through a search box.As always, let me know what you think.
