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.

With six 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

The album was remastered and reissued in November 2005 by Australian record label Aztec Music on CD with two additional tracks.
