Bitter Creek - Plastic Thunder 1960's
All we know about this band is that they was from Georgia. Any of you chatters know anything about these guys?
Think you hear the sound of thunder? Nope -- it's only Bitter Creek's 1967 "Plastic Thunder" version. But with its cavernous bass and Yardbirds-on-acid fuzz guitar, this song is almost as heavy as the real thing. Surprisingly little is known about Bitter Creek; the consensus is that they were from Georgia and that "Plastic Thunder" was the only 45 they ever issued.
There are some who have claimed the song was from 1967 and was the first heavy metal song. It is only found on a compilation called "Psychedelic States: Georgia in the 60s (Vol. I)". The "Psychedelic States" series was published by Gear Fab Records and started with three volumes of music from Florida and then moved on to Georgia. Whether the series ever reached all 48 contingent states or all 50 states I do not know, but I read several reviews of people who had other states and claimed the music was great but the sound quality went downhill as the project continued. The liner notes are quite detailed for some bands but Bitter Creek's notes only say that they were possibly from Atlanta and that their single "Plastic Thunder" was released on Mark IV in the fall of '68.
