The first single was followed by the Edgar Broughton Band’s debut album, Wasa Wasa . Wasa Wasa retained a heavily blues influenced sound that was hard-driven and propelled by Edgar Broughton’s gritty vocal style, which was similar to that of Captain Beefheart and Howlin’ Wolf . The Broughtons entered into an attempt to capture their live sound on record by organising a performance at Abbey Road on 9 December 1969. Only one track was released at the time: a rendition of ” Out Demons Out “, an adaptation of The Fugs ‘ song “Exorcising the Demons Out Of the Pentagon”, which had become the band’s set-closer and anthem. The rest of the recording was lost until its rediscovery and release in a remixed form in 2004 as Keep Them Freaks a Rollin’: Live at Abbey Road 1969 .
