Rarity:- Very Rare,16 bands recorded over 6 weeks in the basement at Flick Studios, the LP`s were stored in a rear office which flooded leaving only the 300 already distributed still obtainable!! Very rarely comes up for sale this one!!!
Music: A combination of Prog/Psych/Garage Punk/Mod Rock, highlights being Arabia`s Prog Rock observation of TV Addicts called `Watch and Believe it`, the Dynamic Skull crushing Pistols like attack of `Dresden` by the Drongoes For Europe (here called Slaughterhouse 5), Beautiful Psych of `Beneath the Street`s` song `Friends` with lovely `Early Fairport Convention` style Female Vocals and Genesis style backing, plus Outstanding Power Pop by `Eye Do It` with their female crusader telling us to `Knock Down the Wall` (referring to Berlin Wall, obviously recorded prior to event) Sleeve notes by Mike Davis (Melody Maker)...some great rare stuff on here!!
Trivia: Front photo shows all the bands featured on the LP outside Birminghams Gaumont cinema (now demolished) following the original `Brumbeat` LP 1964 Idea & Islands `You Can All Join In` - apparently if you look close you can see the singer of the Pungent Smells with a bag over his head, this was his protest at having his obscene lyrics edited out on the final mix...allegedly
