THE FISHHEADS – LOBSTER BASQUE REPLICA (2023)

This can only be Fruits de Mer, an LP + CD for their 100th release, but no Captain Beefheart! Instead, we get early PINK FLOYD (‘See Emily Play’, an under 5-minute version of ‘Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun’ and ‘Remember the Day’ from “A Saucerful of Secrets”), a 1969 release on the Philips’ French label, ‘Egyptian Tomb’ by MIGHTY BABY; some nostalgic trips down memory lane with Farfisa organs and psychedelic guitars.

Also on the LP is a side-long piece entitled ‘Oops! Something’s Coming from Another Planet’, an enjoyable romp through the weird and wonderful by Mark Swordfish of ASTRALASIA. The CD with the LP also includes an epic track dedicated to the lobster on the cover, ‘Lola’s Story’! It’s all great fun, as always!
