A Bucket Of Brains

A Bucket of Brains is a studio EP/CD by Flamin' Groovies, primarily consisting of seven songs recorded by the group while living in England and recording for the British branch of United Artists Records in 1972. The songs were intended to form the basis of the Groovies' fourth studio album, to be entitled A Bucket of Brains. Six of the songs were produced by Dave Edmunds, while the seventh was produced by Groovies' leader Cyril Jordan. The eighth song on the album is the original "correct speed" studio version of the Groovies' most famous song, "Shake Some Action". Although four of the songs were released on two singles by UA, their failure to chart caused UA to terminate the sessions at the end of 1972 without finishing the album, and the group returned to the U.S. before Christmas. However, the unissued recordings of two of those songs later became the centerpiece of the Groovies' most successful album, Shake Some Action, in 1976. An unofficial version of this album, entitled The Rockfield Session, was issued by the group's Australian record label, AIM Records, in 1989, with liner notes by Cyril Jordan.
