Out of the mists comes yet another in our series of Creation Records superstars....the missing link between Biff Bang Pow, the Jesus and Mary Chain, and My Bloody Valentine....Slaughter Joe (and his Modern Folk Quintet) A simple blocking move masterminded by Creation founders Alan McGee and Joe Foster to corner the noisepop market in the wake of their production of the Jesus and Mary Chain took on a life of it's own, as their fictitious character, like Ziggy Stardust before him, tried for his own seat on the boardIn the process, though, many wild sound experiments were made, many insane gigs were undertaken, all the way up until the same team pushed My Bloody Valentine onto their weird voyages With a team including ex-TVP Dave Musker, Buzzcocks bassist/producer Tony Barber, June Brides Viola player Francis Sweeney, and west coast garage supremo Alec Palao, a fairly coherent if eccentric body of work was produced, both for Creation and for it's Kaleidoscope Sounds offshoot Loved by many of today's top groups, a hero in Detroit and LA, the subject of a growing number of cover versions, our cartoon character sings for his supper once more!! This is the first time a complete collection has been on CD and tracks have been remastered from original tapes in the Rev-Ola style! With detailed linernotes with participation by the artist! The latest in our continuing series of Creation Records superstars....collect the set!
