Bristol's Heads recorded 5 Radio sessions for Radio 1 between the years 1995 and 2000, thats 3 (three!!) for John Peel, and one each for the R1 Rock Show (when it was in Glasgow) and one for the Mark Radfliffe show.... some crafty sod's gone and put a wellington together of (wellington boot, geddit...) some of the best tracks from these sessions, Rooster (Heads label) nabbed them at source, and decided to make some sleeves up and let them out for RSD, theres 500, it sounds pretty amazing: well, really, its true.
MY REVIEW: Fucking shit. The true psychedelic UK underground masters have had a rough last couple of years. Sparse 3 piece gigs scattered around Europe, some eBay CDr releases in editions of 70 and 'Lost in Space' some random attempts at noise. BUT NO. This isn't rough, this is the TRUE GEM of them all. Side two is the lengthy jams, including a Neu! '75 cover. Side one is a mix of their more straight forward tracks which include unconscious lyrics and rip roar screeching guitar. If you ever felt psych-rock to be a cliche, ever-endless and recycled style, that philosophy stops now. -HRT
