I understand that a lot of this album, especially Relax and Two Tribes is actually The Blockheads playing!!there's so many to choose from, it could be Freak Out! by the Mothers of Invention, Music to Eat by HGB... but there's only one which EVERYBODY at school was talking about after the xmas break in 198thingy... and the general consensus was that this was a classic album... and it may as well have been their only album.
ladies and gentlemen, i give you....
They are quite sheepish about it though, anyone else aware of this.
Ianruk may know maybe??
It was Normal Watt Roy and Mickey Gallagher from the Blockheads.
They also played on Sandanista by the Clash.

Thanks Ian,
I knew about them on Sandanista,
Did you hear about when Ian Dury and the Blocks had been on TOTP dressed as coppers to perform I Want to be Straight and went round to where The Clash where hanging out, burst in dressed in their uniforms and Topper Headon leapt out of the window and legged it, was missing for a few hours, allegedly!
Is this session-musician-on-album buisness as usual (see Jimmy Page pre-LZ & Yardbirds and Big Jim Sullivan, who between them must have actually played guitar on nearly every British record in that era.) ?

according to some TV doc about vinyl recently, Jimmy Page played guitar on around 60% of every single recorded in London in the latter half of the '60's... they may have been exaggerating though.

…and from a conversation I had last night, it's just possible Ritchie Blackmore played on close to the remaining 40%…

Bought a copy on CD from the bargain bucket last week - it's completely unlistenable.
Must get a copy for Ms. P.
She was listening to Jandek last sunday morning while fixing breakfast.

This is what happens when you've got an arm full of smack and your head up your own jacksie. Remember kids, just say no!

No problem! Frightening to think it was released over 45 years ago...You are absolutely right. Please excuse my " senior moment".

Spookily enough I can still remember where the scratch on the vinyl was at the beginning of the LP that my sister had. A couple of minutes ago I went on to play.com and ordered the CD, together with the first Tubes album. £9 all up!

I'm sure Night Flight to Venus by Boney M was a double LP.
If not, War of the Worlds must have been.
