Ersatz

This album was the idea of Graphic Designer Barney Bubbles, (You know him from the classic early Hawkwind sleeves or his work with Elvis Costello and F-Beat records). He chose all of the cover versions on side one and after recording the originals onto a cheap cassette recorder he took them to the band, here's the catch: he only let them hear the songs -once- ...cue various members scribbling down chords/lyrics/etc.. then the band had to re-assemble the songs from these scraps of information... this explains why this is the -wierdest- damn album you'll ever hear...

"Insolence Across The Nation" is the story of one Mr Hitler it's basically acted readings from his book "Mein Kampf" set to the music of Wagner.. "Its heavy man.."
