INFO

The band tried several studios, where they were met with a combination of derision and fear. Engineers and producers were generally not ready for them in 1976, and were unwilling to listen to the band's unconventional ideas about sound, let alone place their persons and equipment in harm's way.

They had almost despaired of finding any place to record, when they were finally cautiously welcomed by Trafalgar. This EP is the result of Radio Birdman's first sessions at what was to become their home studio.

Track Listing:

A-side:

Smith and Wesson Blues ( D Tek ) (3:01 m:s)

Snake ( D Tek ) (3:06 m:s)

B-side:

I-94 ( D Tek / C Jones ) (3:36 m:s)

Burned My Eye ( D Tek ) (1:49 m:s)

Of Interest:

Trafalgar was a typical early seventies studio, plush, heavily carpeted, dead sounding and quiet. The band thought they could liven up the sound by hauling in large sheets of corrugated iron, of the sort that is used for roofs on country houses, which they carted away from building demolition sites in their Ford Transit van. The engineers were horrified but allowed it.

This EP also features the sound of VB cans (the old sturdy tins, not the new soft aluminium ones) being smashed against band members heads as a percussion device.

The 12" reissue features the same cover photo as the original, the only difference being a minor colouration of the titles, and the 12" versus 7" format.

These records come from my personal collection. They have all been extremely well cared for over the years since I bought them, and they come from a pet and smoke free environment. I will be listing a number of my treasured records, ranging from punk to glam to classic rock to Australian to hard rock / heavy metal and everything in between, over the coming months. If you like this record there is a good chance that other titles I list may also interest you, so feel free to have a look at my other auctions and email me with any queries.
