Honk: Epic
HONK on Epic Records (1974)
This LP was released to coincide with HONK’s “Beach Boys” tour, and it captures the excitement of a major rock concert. Producer Henry Lewy (Joni Mitchell) chose A & M Studios in order to achieve the finest sound quality possible. I transferred the LP to CD in response to over 100 requests. I had to stop sending out the CDs, though, because the effort was consuming too much of my time. If you are interested in hearing what HONK sounds like today, please click here.

Beth Fitchet (Wood); vocals & guitar

Hi Craig,
It has been great listening to my favorite honk songs again. I wore a couple of the LPs out (bought it the first time in ‘74 or ‘75). I also purchased the unreleased recording and have been really enjoying it. I’m a musician in Michigan and during breaks there are always a couple of Honk songs on the PA. People ask and now I know where to tell them to get the music. If I can ever take a trip to CA I’m going to make sure it happens when you are at The Coach House. It’s great to see that your career in music continues!
Keep playin’

tried to buy this, but the link doesn’t work. VERY interested in picking it up, though. Drop me a line.

I am so sorry for the confusion. After sending out over 100 copies of our 1974 Epic album, it became necessary to suspend this item from my catalog, as it takes too much time to burn, label, and mail them (and it is technically illegal for me to sell them, even though i only did it as a service to our friends.)
HONK is still very active today. If you would like to hear our latest effort as a team, please check out “Renewed Hope” on this site. It features all 6 members of HONK and was produced by our pianist Steve Wood.
Thank you for your interest in our band. We really appreciate it. Hope to see you at an up-coming HONK concert in the near future.

Craig I would like to buy a copy of the bands CD recorded in 1974 the one with Hesitation, Move me and so on. I grew up in OC and surfed Huntington forever. Love your music and this record. One of my best momories was house sitting at Newport and waking up to crashing waves and your music .. the best.
I live in Texas now and have stayed in touch with many of my friends from this time back in California.
Please contact me to give me the details of the music.
Thank you so much! Hopefully you will make an exception I really need some Honk! I will overnight the payment to you.

I still think their song ” All My Time Is Free” is one of the most underrated, unnoticed, yet profoundly beautiful yet painful somgs ever recorded.
