When Julian Cope did that Rock Section remix single he asked me if there were any more lyrics I sent them all to him here is a track with a shortened version.

“WTF, wow, this sounds massive!” “The urgency of the song is killing me. The layered Stooges piano bits are gorgeous. The fuzz too. It’s a belter of a death disco hit. That fuzz is relentless. Stream-of-consciousness vocals are great as well.” AQ

Rock Section (Séance Version)

The Legend of Rock Section (Séance Version), originally entitled ‘Send Me A Letter’, with the original lyrics from the Jim Morrison séance, which started off with him saying he was murdered by the music industry (the song Target) then asked for me to send this to a friend of his in the US called Big Jake, of course this came back “return to sender” as Big Jake was a character John Wayne played, it then took on a life of it’s own “a gigantic hoax” which culminated in us meeting Cliff Richards at the crossroads one morning, this is the original lyrics version from the letter that was only opened after the Dayglo Maradona version came out. Every time I approach it, it becomes something else.

Available on all streaming services.

Finally it’s out, the latest single from One Million Fuzztone Guitars & Skin Patrol!

Amazon, Apple, Spotify, YouTube Music, Deezer, Tidal, Napster, YouTube Video

https://music.apple.com/us/album/target-single/1575954316

From the Jim Morrison seance / Rock Section Trilogy period Skin Patrol recreated tracks and first up is Target. Glitchy retro 80’s intro leads into a whispered choral descent into the underworld. Understated Stooges fuzztone guitars over funk bass on hybrid electro acoustic drumbeat with reinforced 808 bass line. Wild off the wall fuzz fx lead reminiscent of Mick Ronson (or is it Ariel Bender?) playing with Roxy Music in another reality, morphs into early Alice Cooper freakout fuzztone. Scratchy Soviet synths, retro 60’s organ and female choir complete the sound as it fades into a funeral bell reverberation of guitars smashing on the floor.

Skin Patrol – ‘Rock Section’ live in Derby 1978

skinpatrol 1400 72

Supporting the awful band Fashion in Derby, a very early, maybe the first version of Rock Section live from 1978, a two song gig then off to hospital, though I must admit the injury and destruction was down to us, the audience were quite polite considering. Part two of a 2 track set, once the P.A. had been rebuilt following their rendition of ‘Riot On Sunset Strip’, “Do you want to do some more?”.

Big Jake.

The last ever Skin Patrol Session 19 August 1981

131 Rehearsal

So the legendary 131 gig tape is a mangled up basket case of analogue technology with Rock Section missing, but there is a tape of the rehearsal for that gig which is here. Two minute agit-prop gems that got them into so much trouble that the group was banned as ‘not in the public interest’, well let’s let the public be the judge of that. So this is the day before the gig as described in the novel ‘131’, a set run through, and what a run through it is. As relevant today as it was then.

Being only recently discovered there is also the first drum machine version of Rock Section at the end when Steve went home to pack for his forthcoming adventures. So in the absence of the gig version I ask you to just use your imagination, (Jim thought this sounded like Schoolly D) it did have real drums live by the way.

The same day (19 August 1981) Skin Patrol recorded 90 mins of new tracks but that is for another day……

Don’t be dumb, be RADICAL.

Big Jake.

Dusting off their copies of ‘Rock and Roll Animal’ and ‘Funhouse’, One Million Fuzztone Guitars take to the Persian carpeted stage of the Newshouse in Nottingham for a Hard Rock work out of old favourites and the new, never before released ‘Planting A Tree’, the only live recording we think.

Play it Loud!
