Anyhow, I managed to listen to it again and I am totally convinced this is the best episode so far, surpassing even the first one. I feel astonished regarding your erudite knowledge of the field. This ...
... is simply fantastic. Wish I could come to such discoveries.Banjo & Sullivan are actually a fictitious country duo who were characters in 'The Devil's Rejects' a film directed by Rob Zombie.
Rob got Country artist Jesse Dayton to record a bunch of songs as B&J for prospective use on the film's soundtrack but they turned out so well that they ultimately recorded & released all the B&J recordings as a standalone album. Zombie was so taken with the project that he even designed the album art for it.
The album's really good if you enjoy country music, with several stand-out songs such as the excellently titled 'I'm At Home Getting Hammered (While She's Out Getting Nailed)', 'Killer...', 'Dick Soup' & a countyfied version of Skynyrd's 'Freebird'.
I knew Dayton had worked in a variety of different musical styles over a number of years, (including some contributions to Supersuckers records), but i only recently discovered that he was the guitarist in Madd Hatter, the Texan Heavy Metal band who released a sought after S/T LP in 1985.
Who'd have guessed that a guy known primarily for country music could link Rob Zombie, Supersuckers & Madd Hatter? It's a crazy ole world.
I agree with everything you replied throughout the thread, for example that SLADE's BBC recordings blows off the album versions easily. This Luv Machine is from Barbados, so to say, right? Is there indeed a band from New Zealand with the same name or is it just miscredited with New Zealand? Some things seem to be so rare, they are not even listed within RYM (Pleasurepain, Mitchell) and that Stallion Demo seems not to be a part of EM/MA discography.
I think I have listened very thoroughly, and I'd say I miss a title for at least one snippet. For me it gets out of sync some time after CURVED AIR. Am also wondering, is that Vincent Price outtake from Witchfinder General? And there's part of reading of 'The Raven' by E. A. Poe. As usual I'd ask for the rest of verbal ingredients. And before long, I'll probably have to ask you about uploading this edition on MEGA. Huge Cheers!
And yeah, happy Halloween y'all!
