child of novelty

By 1971, Frank Marino's now famed Mahogany Rush was making a name for itself outside of the Montreal area, as the band began to have a following throughout the United States and beyond. The group became the first Canadian "hard rock trio", blazing the path for groups like Rush and Triumph that followed. This LP became one of the first Canadian albums to break into the U.S. market, with a huge success. MR were also one of the first to achieve International stardom, playing to huge crowds in Japan, Germany, England, Sweden and across the globe.
