Part of the Severed Heads Discography

Side 2 (1980)

A cassette of live recordings cut together (along the lines of side D of Clifford Darling, Please Don't Live in the Past, which in fact uses some of the same sound sources), this was conceived of as being a follow-up to Severed Heads' side of the album Ear Bitten. The titles are generally convenient markers in a collage of music rather than denoting "songs". Furthermore, Tom Ellard advises: "With cassettes, it was always possible to rework track listings and we did that often. No one will ever be able to say 'this is the correct version', but I can tell you what was the final version". And so he did, and this is it.
