Dead Time (Live)
Supercharged, dynamic, Punk, Funk, Rockabilly Agitpop from Skin Patrol in 1980, restored and remastered from a PA desk mix cassette. The Ajanta Cinema put on many punk and post-punk bands at the time, including Joy Division, Psychedelic Furs, Crass and Throbbing Gristle, all bands we loved. It closed after one particularly riotous gig where the seats were ripped out and thrown on stage, not us, honestly.

Skin Patrol Live at The Ajanta Cinema, 1980
Recorded live (desk mix) at the Ajanta Cinema, Derby, in 1980, this legendary gig captures this period of Skin Patrol at their best. On the bill with Anti-Pasti, the audience didn’t quite get what they were expecting, hit with a potent mix of funk, punk, and agitpop via Captain Beefheart, The Doors and The Pop Group. The select few of the audience who knew what they were in for loved it. The majority waiting for identikit punk loathed it; they hated us in silence (mostly), and we hated them. The perfect gig at that time.

Landslide, the latest single by One Million Fuzztone Guitars is out now!
Landslide (the first version of Everything’s Happening): A high-energy uplifting rock anthem with a story: “Some time ago I had a dream vision that I was in Chislehurst Caves (a 60’s rock venue in Kent that I had no knowledge of at the time but later went to), watching Led Zeppelin play the song that later became the first One Million Fuzztone Guitars single ‘Annuese’ Next on was The Doors, Jim Morrison walked across to me at the side of the stage, leaned down, and said, “make sure you write this down”, and once they had finished ‘Everything’s Happening’, I did, and here it is, though I must admit our version sounds more like the Sex Pistols than the Doors.”

Fur Coat River Woman
A previously unreleased 1984 One Million Fuzztone Guitars / Skin Patrol track ‘Fur Coat River Woman’, it’s amazing the people you encounter working in a nightclub cloakroom.
“The ghostly vocals in the second half of the song remind me of the way they were used in Smiths songs ca Strangeways. They added a very mysterious edge to their songs.” AQ
Baby You Know
Baby You Know, another track from the 1984 sessions remastered. Early demos plus lost tracks from 1984 for One Million Fuzztone Guitars some of which ended up becoming the templates for the “Everything’s Happening” studio sessions.
“A short, pretty tune in the Barrett / Cope tradition!” 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.
