A raw, heavy and forward‑thinking debut, Budgie (1971) introduced the Welsh power‑trio’s explosive blend of hard rock, proto‑metal and progressive edge. With Burke Shelley’s soaring vocals, Tony Bourge’s crushing riffs and Ray Phillips’ thunderous drumming, the album laid the groundwork for countless heavy bands that followed.

This 180‑gram reissue brings renewed weight and clarity to one of the most influential early‑70s heavy rock records.
