THE PIGSTY HILL LIGHT ORCHESTRA PRESENTS ... PHLOP!
First-ever LP released on the idiosyncratic and quite wonderful The Village Thing Records (Cat. no. VTS 1). The Pigsty Hill Light Orchestra were a kind of Temperance Seven combo. The instruments credited to the band include: kazoo, chromium plated plughole, jug, egg cupaphone and garden shears.
The band were: Barry Back, David Creech, John Turner and Andy Leggett. Julie Bridson also provided vocals on one track and Ian Hunt, guitar on another track. The track listing is:
Side One: Cushion Foot Stomp; Funny Side Of The Street; Silk Pyjamas; Company Policy; On Sunday; and Second Fiddle.
Side Two: T'aint No Sin; Sleepy Time Blues; My Pet; Nothing Else Will Do Babe; Sporting Life Blues; and Men Of Harlech
Songs like 'T'aint No Sin' are great fun and really well delivered. I can't imagine that there are too many copies of this LP around, particularly as The Village Thing Records didn't sell in any quantity at the time, excepting perhaps Fred Wedlock. Shame really, as some of the records, like Steve Tilston's first album, were exceptional.
The vinyl is in absolutely great nick. The LP cover is very good with the exception of the spine which is good (but completely intact with most of the wording legible).
