One Million Fuzztone Guitars Live at Rock City 1984 12 72

One Million Fuzztone Guitars on top form in 1984, showcasing their recently recorded Radio Trent Session tracks and b-sides of the two singles. Desk Mix. ‘Tis a pity that they did not play ‘Rock Section’ at this one but the insane version of ‘Creepy Crawl’ surely makes up for it!

Only the end of Annuese exists as far as we know.

Cover is taken from the original photocopy and Letraset cassette version.

DIY rules, Jim was crap with a hammer though.

Recently unearthed, the only known recording of Skin Patrol’s Rock Section concept album ‘One Night In Paris’, recorded around the time of the 131 gig in 1981.

Everything’s happening like a landslide
A landslide going on up
But stagnant water is
Lying over me
As a voice whispers in my ear
Hey Jim , look over there
Two gendarmes at the end of the bath
With my battered guitars in their hands
Clanking on their guns
Singing ‘La Mer’
I slide out of consciousness
And wonder where you are
Rock Section

‘In a Parisian Bathtub’

Back to digging,

Big Jake.
