Blowout by Bone Orchard
These savage, uncompromising (& sometimes flawed) live recordings were made in Grapevine rehearsal studios, Brighton, sometime in 1986, by taking the output from the mixing desk directly into a domestic stereo reel to reel tape machine. They were "work in progress" recordings for the band to develop new material for their post-Penthouse Poultry album and feature the wild,distinctive vocals of Chrissy McGee, pushing the boundaries vocally & lyrically, the rock solid rhythm section of Paul H & Adi Harris and the Beefheartian guitars of Troy & Mark scratching their way across the tracks. The band disintegrated before the album could be properly recorded but these tracks give clues as to what it might have sounded like.
