Speech (album)
Speech was the fourth and last album of the British blues-rock band Steamhammer.
In 1971, Kieran White and Steve Davy left Steamhammer, and bassist Louis Cennamo joined guitarist Martin Pugh and drummer Mick Bradley. This lineup, together with session vocalist Garth Watt-Roy, recorded this album, which was released in 1972. It consisted of three long and mostly instrumental songs.
Due to the Bradley's untimely death from leukemia, shortly after the album's release, Steamhammer dissolved, and Speech ended up being their final album. After Bradley's death, the remaining members, guitarist Martin Pugh and Cennamo joined up with former Yardbirds vocalist Keith Relf and drummer Bobby Caldwell, formerly of Johnny Winter's band and Captain Beyond, to form Armageddon.

Famous quotes containing the word speech:
“Greek is the embodiment of the fluent speech that runs or soars, the speech of a people which could not help giving winged feet to its god of art. Latin is the embodiment of the weighty and concentrated speech which is hammered and pressed and polished into the shape of its perfection, as the ethically minded Romans believed that the soul also should be wrought.”
—Havelock Ellis (1859–1939)
