Come and play ‘My Little Game’
My Little Game
New album release by Vortex Patrol taken from the ‘Everything’s Happening / Landslide’ Trent Sessions II, 1985, featuring the unreleased monster that is ‘My Little Game’!
“Once I had………a little game……”
Big Jake
Landslide by Vortex Patrol
What ended up as the ‘Everything’s Happening’ LP was originally destined to be the next One Million Fuzztone Guitars album, but when it became clear that was not going to happen (because they did not want to come out to play) became Landslide by Vortex Patrol. The band name was suggested for us by Jim Morrison in the ‘Rock Section’ seances.
Later remixed with live drums and released as ‘Everything’s Happening’ by Robert Courtney this early version features two ‘lost tracks’ that did not fit (due to space constraints) on the finished LP (should have been a double).
Hope you like it.
Play it LOUD!
But remember,
We are not responsible for your speakers…..

“Handsome, debonair, and weird. Some times I’d think “this is way too weird, I wish they had one less fuzz-tone guitar”, and then another night I’d be thinking “damn this is normal, can’t they get another fuzz-tone guitar”. On reflection, I think you nailed it!” Dave Sketchley
Thank you Andrew Dickinson for finding the photographs!
We just need to find the tape and the film……..Big Jake.

Rev. George Oliver and Nottingham’s Druid Temple. Edwin Patchitt was the man who designed the Rock Cemetery. This is where Skin Patrol used to go to write songs after gigs around the time of the ‘Rock Section’ seances. He and his family are buried in quite an elaborate family plot. The location of the tomb is exactly positioned in what Oliver described as being the ‘arch druid’s cell’.
