FREAKS GALORE 6
THE GOSPEL OF FREAKDOM
according to Luke Haines and Sonic Smith-d
I mentioned that there were more Freaks in the tube ready for your enlightenment - but probably you know them all.
The world of freakdom is seemingly unlimited. I chose the Screaming Lord Sutch song, because he was such a tragic figure and a Freak by nature and yet could descend into the world of Popsyke. And Elliott Sharpe is obsessed with outrageous sounds.
Ivor Cutler can’t be beaten in his British eccentricity, and so can’t be John Dowie: just plain wonderful, and be taken with two tongues in your cheek!
Please enjoy this compilation, if you do, leave a comment.

Thanks! It's great to see some appreciation for Ivor Cutler, and I do have a special fondness for bands like the Damned and X. I had moved from England to the US at the end of 1975, when I was 15, so I wasn't able to witness the very first stirrings of UK punk for myself. But I did go to some of the early gigs that X played in Los Angeles as a "local" band. And then I also saw the Damned here on their very first US tour (in 1977 or so). On a different topic, though, I just want to mention that, although -- as a rockabilly fan from way back -- I'm familiar with Sanford Clark's recording of "The Cheat," I'd never actually heard the Screaming Lord Sutch version before. Interesting stuff!
Hi Crab Devil,
as I was in England for many months each year between 1973 and 1982, I got to see many of the up-coming Punk and New Wave bands.And they also visited Germany and the Netherlands. So I got to see for instance Joy Division in a converted church in Cologne. Etc,
The Cheat is a Lee Hazlewood song, although he never recorded it himself as far as I know. But there's also a version by THe Earls Of Suave, which I don't own ;-)
