Rare US '72 hard-rock/heavy-blues private pressing with a powerful sound in the vein of Sabbath, Led Zep, and Grand Funk. Originally from Sandston, Virginia, Short Cross featured ace guitar player Velpo Robertson and during their existence (1969-1973) opened for bands like Black Sabbath, Trapeze, and Black Oak Arkansas among many others. Arising was their only album, released in 1972 and now considered a cult hard-rock classic. This new reissue is dedicated to Velpo, who sadly passed away in 2020. Featuring original artwork in gatefold sleeve. Remastered sound. Includes insert with liner notes and photos. "Ballsy, pro-sounding early 1970s rural bar rock-hardrock in an Allman Bros direction with great organ-guitar interplay" --Patrick Lundborg (Acid Archives)
