Milk From Cheltenham Triptych Of Poisoners LP Vinyl

Limited vinyl LP repressing of this 1983 album from the UK DIY legends including digital download. The album was originally released on the famed ItÆs War Boys imprint. ôFlashback to no-when (1978) in a musty cellar beneath a record store in Brixton, later to become the humble 8-track recording studio of ItÆs War Boys. Milk From Cheltenham would regularly jam and invite friends/enemies to participate with whatever weapons/instruments they chose to deploy, making live recordings on an odd triple microphone input cassette player. By the time of the recordings at Surrey Sound in 1981-82, we had reduced in size from a hive of toxicity to a triptych of poisoners: Victorr Lounge, Salamander and myself. Like rabid quantum monkeys with broken typewriters, we were allowed to run loose in the studio, under the supervision of tonmeister Chris Grey and head zookeeper L. Voag. There was always a cornucopia of exotic instruments including kettle drums, synthesizers and electric sitar. To make some of the basement tapes sound bigger, Chris would play them through vast speakers and re-record the results. Almost half the song titles were borrowed from Le CorbusierÆs book The Radiant City. The record was released to spectacular indifference and just 500 copies made their way into an unsuspecting world.ö ùLepke B
