Crazyhead – Chemical Lunch (E.P. – 1998)

After releasing their debut Desert Orchid on Food in 1988, Crazyhead switched labels and released Some Kind Of Fever in 1990 on Revolver Records. After the departure of bassist Alex ‘Porkbeast’ Peach, the band re-grouped and recorded a covers album entitled Live From Memphis which remains unreleased.

Eventually, after recruiting bassist Christina Wigmore and guitarist Peter Creed, the band recorded the covers E.P. Chemical Lunch in 1998. The pharmaceutical-themed E.P. features covers of songs by The Fugs, Bo Diddley, Julian Cope and Gene Vincent. The band recorded it in Kev Reverb’s ‘Memphis Studios’ and burned the album to CD-Rs which were then sold at their gigs. Many thanks to Adrian Manning for forwarding the album to me.
