about

Ceramic Hobs undertook many recording sessions during 1996 and 1997 that were scheduled for release as two separate vinyl LPs by two other underground labels. When this didn't happen it was decided to create a full-length album of the material and here it is. A concept album, in essence, this has been likened to a double album where "things start to slip a bit around side three . . . However, the inspired lysergic vibrations are soon emanating again and a glorious recovery is made".

Originally released by Pumf Records in 1998 on CD, with a CD-R reissue in 2009, and still available from Pumf Records. To buy a tangible copy go to www.batcow.co.uk/pumf/pumf.htm#609.
