Frijid Pink: Defrosted 1970 + Earth Omen 1972 + All Pink Inside 1974 + Frijid Pink, Frijid Pink, Frijid Pink 2011

Defrosted is the second album by the Detroit rock band Frijid Pink. Released in 1970, the album is more blues-based hard rock than its predecessor , yet still contains the characteristic fuzz tone guitar sound featured prominently on the group's first album , Frijid Pink . This is the last album to feature lead vocalist Tom Beaudry (aka:Kelly Green) and lead guitarist Gary Ray Thompson . 

Their departure from the group soon followed, fueled by an ego-driven notion that 'they' were Frijid Pink. The band were on the brink of major success at that time, but this breach of contract essentially ruined their chances. The LP reached only #149 on U.S. charts , although the debut one ran for #7 . The track " Sing A Song For A Freedom " also as a single made #55 in the U.S.A. in July 1970.

EARTH OMEN  1972

 

 
Earth Omen is the third album by American rock band Frijid Pink, released in 1972.

The band, recently abandoned by their original singer and guitarist, shed their blues-based rock sound and picked up a more progressive rock sound (reminiscent of Uriah Heep), with added psychedelia. This was largely thanks to the addition of singer Jon Wearing, guitarist Craig Webb, and keyboardist Larry Zelanka (Zelanka was only considered a guest on the previous two albums).

Frijid Pink : Frijid Pink 1970

Frijid Pink , formed from members of the Detroit Vibrations , spent their first two years touring throughout the Southeast Michigan/Detroit area . The group eventually signed with Parrot Records in 1969 .
Frijid Pink often shared billing then with the MC5 , The Stooges , The Amboy Dukes and others .

Detroit hard rockers Frijid Pink formed in 1967 , originally comprised of singer Kelly Green , guitarist Gary Ray Thompson , bassist Tom Harris , keyboardist Larry Zelanka and drummer Richard Stevers . After two years of relentless touring throughout the southeast Michigan area , the group substituting Harris for new bassist Thomas Beaudry signed with the Parrot label in 1969 . Although their first two singles , "Tell Me Why" and "Drivin' Blues," failed to attract much attention , their third effort for the company a distorted , guitar-heavy interpretation of "The House of the Rising Sun" reached the Top Ten on the U.S. pop charts , becoming an even bigger hit overseas . Frijid Pink's self-titled debut LP followed in 1970 , as did the follow-up Defrosted . Subsequent singles including "Sing a Song for Freedom" and "Heartbreak Hotel" however , failed to match earlier successes , and after 1972's " Earth Omen " the group did not re-enter the studio until recording 1975's " All Pink Inside " disbanding soon after.
