But 1975's \u003ci\u003eBandolier\u003c\/i\u003e found the band pursuing a more conventional rock sound with a noticeable funk influence. This is most apparent on the guitar-scratching \"I Can't See My Feelings\" and the finger-snapping \"Who Do You Want for Your Love?,\" featuring a slow groove topped with vocalist Burke Shelley's soulful wailing. While the riff-heavy \"Breaking All the House Rules\" and the amusing \"Napoleon Bona Part 1 \u0026amp; 2\" hark back to the band's early days, change was on the horizon. Budgie's creative spark was remarkably absent from subsequent releases for new label A\u0026amp;M, marking \u003ci\u003eBandolier\u003c\/i\u003e as the last album of the band's golden age.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Noteworthy Productions","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50490790641995,"sku":"2021824","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50490790805835,"sku":"2026194","price":36.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/61WKnAB4xpL._AC_SY355__476353ff_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727674426"},{"product_id":"squawk","title":"Squawk","description":"\u003cp\u003eHaving acquired a small cult following with its first album, Budgie offered a second dose of abrasive, forceful heavy metal that, like its predecessor, drew on influences ranging from Cream to Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin.
