BUFFALO
Only Want You For Your Body


Buffalo’s third album: Only Want You For Your Body, the last with the classic line–up of Dave Tice (Count Bishops), John Baxter, Pete Wells (Rose Tattoo) and Jimmy Economou, was released in 1974. The album sits comfortably next to Volcanic Rock as one of the most outrageously heavy and ground-breaking stoner rock albums ever released in Australia. With 6 further Tice/Baxter classics, including “I’m A Skirt Lifter, Not A Shirt Raiser” and “Kings Cross Ladies”, the album cemented Buffalo’s reputation as Australia’s premier hard rock band.

The wildly tasteless cover design featured an obese, screaming, semi-naked woman shackled to a torture rack. On the back cover, the band revelled in their role as leering, lascivious Aussie yob rockers, with Tice wearing a devilish grin while clad in his black leather strides ‘n’ braces and brandishing a bullwhip. It was just a bit of harmless fun, yet outraged record store managers across the land refused to stock the record, some eventually placing it in a brown paper bag to hide the offending images.

In fact, as recently as November 2009, Buffalo made the NME's list of the 29 sickest album covers ever list!

Our deluxe reissue is packaged in a 6-panel digi-pak with 24 page booklet– liner notes by Ian McFarlane, rare photos and recent interviews with key band members.

The bonus tracks on Only Want You For Your Body are the mono single version of “What’s Going On”, and a live version of “United Nations” from the ABC TV show GTK (Get To Know).
