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.”

Jim’s In Town, classic One Million Fuzztone Guitars from 1982

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

‘Psychedelic Dog’ the new album from Courtney Bourne!

Psychedelic Dog, recently unearthed like an LSD laced bone, featuring 10 tracks of sun drenched experimentalism. Dark journey, a ‘Rock Section’ reference, haunts my brain to this day, Jim, where are you when we need you?

Landslide by Vortex Patrol

Vortex Patrol Landslide 040

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!
