Originally written for Skin Patrol and recorded by early One Million Fuzztone Guitars in 1982 (once Chris had joined as it needed a keyboard). The follow up to ‘Rock Section’. A celebration of the return of Jim Morrison, who had not actually died, but had faked his own death and now lived a Howard Hughes stye life in the wealthy part of Nottingham. Every day we would see him make the journey from The Park to Rock City and back, some days he would be ‘cleaned up’ but would soon revert to his ‘gentleman of the road’ look. It was rumored that he (Boris) was very wealthy and that this was all a pretense as a barrier to anyone finding out who he really was (see a reference in Julian Cope’s ‘One Three One’). Another Fuzztone’s classic from the ‘Rise and Fall of the Sound of Music’ sessions. Strangely missing from the Cherry Red Master tape? Here is the remastered version with a suitably 80’s cover with a photograph taken at the session.
“That’s mad – the playful jingle, the distorted vocals and the violent cymbal crashes – but I like it!” AQ
