More from the Homosexuals file.
Black Noise #5 Sir Alick & the Phraser, In Search of the Perfect Baby 7″
from the homosexuals discography
Bruno playing everything himself at Surrey Sound from the same era as L.Voag’s “Move” 7″ and the George Harrasment tracks. B-side has help on bass from Chris Grey. Reissued twice more: first in green sleeve with silk-screened plastic outer bag as Sir Alick , and then in a red sleeve as The Homosexuals (with the identical disc and labels, two additional sleeve-designs –also by Suzy)
Information is pretty scant beside what the hyped to death guys have to say. Recorded/released in 1980; Max, as usual, has some amazing high quality scans of the album art and 7″.
SIDE A In Search of the Perfect Baby
I think this was the first Homosexuals side-project thing I ever heard; I was immediately hooked. This is like two songs in one, all droney and quasi-psych for about three minutes until that patent Homosexuals sound finally leaks in and takes over for the remainder.
SIDE B Nursery Chimes
A much more standard sounding track for that era of homosexuality; weird in it’s own way though - lyrically.
Anyway, pretty accessible and readily available (for less than 25USD what kind of person is without this?) stuff compared to what Jim had in store for the next couple of years, such as (the real treasure of this post)
It’s War Boys £6 Vic Serf & The Villans, Rok Y Roll cassette.
