''Only Want You For Your Body'' is the third album for Australian proto-metal band Buffalo, recorded and originally released in 1974 on the Vertigo label. A far more structured and polished release than the previous album ''Volcanic Rock'', ''Only Want You For Your Body'' was conversely a much harder and heavier release. Buffalo had abandoned the progressive and psychedelic elements of their style, in favour of a more straightforward, modernistic approach to heavy metal. On the basis of this album, Buffalo were perhaps one of the earliest acts to develop heavy metal music away from its blues-rock origins – with some passing similarities to future metal acts later in the decade, such as those in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal scene. The album even bizarrely contains a precursor to the death growl on the outro to the track "What's Going On". Buffalo courted controversy again with their album artwork – the cover depicting a half-naked obese woman tied to a torture rack. Adding further fuel to accusations of misogyny was the shift in lyrical emphasis towards sex, in particular the tracks "I'm a Skirt Lifter, Not a Shirt Raiser" and "Kings Cross Ladies". This also marked a shift towards street-level oriented lyrics – an approach that would be later adopted by compatriot hard rock acts including AC/DC, The Angels and Rose Tattoo. The album was remastered and reissued in November 2005 by Australian record label Aztec Music on CD with additional tracks. ==Track listing== All tracks written by Dave Tice and John Baxter, unless noted # I'm a Skirt Lifter, Not a Shirt Raiser - 4:52 # I'm Coming On (Alvin Lee) (Ten Years After cover) - 3:39 # Dune Messiah - 4:32 # Stay With Me - 3:37 # What's Going On - 3:57 # Kings Cross Ladies - 7:27 # United Nations - 6:17 # What's Going On (single version) * - 3:20 # United Nations (live at Hordern Pavilion, Sydney, April 1974 – recorded for ABC-TV program ''GTK'') * - 7:50 '' * Bonus tracks on the 2005 Aztec Music reissue'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Only Want You For Your Body」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
