Whatever Happened to Jugula - Roy Harper & Jimmy Page.

I had that LP once. It's terrible!

Lol. I thought much the same when I was about 13, but I've grown to love it.

My taste has regressed

I well remember that interview with them when they were performing on a mountain with acoustic guitars and having a go at the present music scene - Frankie goes to Banackburn.

I've still got a copy of this knocking about, in "Blood Spattered" vinyl.



And this 12" - Meet Tthe Plasmatics - in sort-of-yellowish-but-described-as-clear-vinyl

Butcher Baby is a classic. Definitely ahead of their time...

Oh dear and know this is all subjective but to me that's beyond dreadful, it's like a bad punk parody

They pushed the boundaries. I find that joyful.

I'm guessing that 'beyond dreadful' is a term that they would have been very happy to put on their posters.

For me, they are part of a history of wonderful kitsch artists that includes Salvador Dali, Chuck Berry, John Waters (Pink Flamingos etc), The Residents, (J)Wayne County, B52s, The Cramps, Kid Creole, Damien Hirst and many more, right through to Dirt Box Disco...
