The Groundhogs are a British rock band founded in late 1963, that toured extensively in the 1960s, achieved prominence in the early 1970s and continued sporadically into the 21st century. Tony McPhee (guitar and vocals) is the sole constant member of the group, which has gone through many personnel changes but usually records and performs as a power trio.
Split is a 1971 blues-rock album recorded by The Groundhogs, originally released by Liberty Records in 1971 with catalogue number LBG 83401.
According to Tony McPhee’s sleeve notes for the 2003 CD reissue, the lyrics for Split were inspired by a panic attack experienced by him in May 1970, and the studio version of “Cherry Red” was recorded live in a single take.
