Reissued and housed in a digi pack of the album by this UK progressive hard rock band. Originally released on RCA 1971. Apart from the acoustic title tracks this album consists of bludgeoning hard rock.

If you're into that heavy psych sound from the early 70's then Stonehouse is a must! This is such an exciting release. If you like Wildfire, Elderberry Jak, Tin House or Euclid then your going to love this hard rockin' release. This was a progressive hard rock outfit. The album is now rare and sought-after by collectors of this genre, apart from the acoustic title track it consists of bludgeoning hard rock. James Smith and Ian Snow later played with Asgard. Here's is what one reviewer had to say about Stonehouse:

Stonehouse Creek 1971 is a GREAT Heavy Rock record & a killer articulate early 70s Heavy Rock. The music and vocal styling's bear a slight resemblance to their fellow UK musicians in Free or very early Bad Company. The thing that definitely sets Stonehouse apart from other commonplace hard rock groups is their musicianship. Instead of arranging their material around the guitar, all the musicians use the acoustic piano as a rhythmic springboard allowing them all a more melodious approach to their individual contributions. The Piano is in no way dominant throughout the album, nor are the arrangements too angular. Unfortunately this was the groups only offering and details on the members & their activities are as rare as the RCA record itself.
