Toad – B.U.F.O. (1970)

Review from RateYourMusic:
Evidently these are alternate versions of early tracks from Toad's career, a few of which appeared on their debut album. Since I dearly, dearly love that debut, I was interested to hear these takes. Uniformly good stuff, it only continues to reveal how great this band was and how criminal their obscurity is. Fans of their first two albums will find lots to dig here, and even the less righteous tracks are still good. Could have done without the "Feelin' Alright" cover, but you can't have everything.

Biography by J. Scott McClintock from Allmusic:
Swiss hard rock and blues-rock outfit Toad leaped (sorry) onto their country's charts with their debut single, "Stay," in 1972 – paving the way for the massive Swiss metal movement of the early '80s and such notable bands as Krokus and Celtic Frost. Mainly a three-piece, consisting of Vittorio "Vic" Vergeat (guitar/vocals), Werner Frohlich (bass), and Cosimo Lampis (drums), Toad often enlisted the help of an additional lead vocalist in much of their studio work (Bens Jaeger sang lead on their debut, but departed the group as soon as recording was completed). That same year, the live album Open Fire: Live in Basel 1972 hit stores, taking advantage of the band's constant and successful touring. Tomorrow Blue followed shortly after, appearing in 1973, and the band released Dreams early in 1974. A few live albums, compilations, and studio works continued to trickle out during the rest of the '70s and early '80s, with the core Toad lineup still firmly in place. By the early 2000s, interest in the early European hard rock scene in general (and Toad in particular) led to a slew of deluxe CD reissues and collections – the best of which were to be found on the Italian imprint Akarma.
