Rare US' 72 hard-rock / heavy-blues private pressing with a powerful sound in the vein of Sabbath, Led Zep, Grand Funk...

Originally from Sandston, Virginia, Short Cross featured ace guitar player Velpo Robertson and during their existence (1969-1973) opened for bands like Black Sabbath, Trapeze and Black Oak Arkansas among many others. “Arising” was their only album, released in 1972 and now considered a cult hard-rock classic.

This new reissue is dedicated to Velpo, who sadly passed away in 2020.
