"...so bad, they're actually bad!"

Can it be true? Are the Mutants of the Holocaust really that bad? Well judge for yourselves fellow music lovers. This page gives a brief snapshot of a short period in the bands lifespan. More will be written when I get round to it.
In the meantime, feel free to download these tracks recorded in the bass players bedroom sometime in '85 if memory serves correctly.

We ran through the songs once and then recorded them straight onto a cheap compact cassette recorder.

Train is not one of ours - not actually sure who wrote it, although everyone has covered it, but this is based on a cross between the Shockabilly and Motorhead versions. Mushroomhead, on the other hand is one of ours. This is really just a series of observations and comments about, and inspired by, a certain strain of fungus. End of the World is also one of ours. Originally it was at least three times as long as what you hear on this record but for some reason or another, the tape got cut and the rest has been lost to history. Shame really. Loose is, of course, the Stooges song, although again, our version is based on the one that the Birthday Party recorded. We finish off with a tune that changed every time we played it. Whoever was singing at the time invented some new words; only the opening line stayed the same.

What happened to side two, you ask?

Well quite honestly, that’s it! That’s all we have.

..and another..

and here is a live version of Roadrunner (The Modern Lovers),proving once again that it's always a good idea to learn the words (and tune, come to think of it) before attempting to play live.

New Track To Download

OK, so it's been a while since I promised some even lower fidelity recordings, so here's one. Recorded at the Hadon Hall in Leeds sometime in '85 it's a shortened version of an extremely overindulgent 9 minute version including completely out of tune instruments, effects pedals tuned to max (and then some)and The Boss making the tempo of the song twice what we'd agreed beforehand. If only we'd practised!

Prepare for even lower fidelity recordings!

Didn't think it was possible to get lower-fi? Just wait till you here a sample from our first gig from way back in '81.
I'm in the process of converting some old tapes and will have the, erm, efforts (minimum!) uploaded as soon as I get round to it. Hey, if we've waited 30 years another few weeks won't make much difference.

A big thanks to Alex and Gaz at Attic Records in York for being the latest stockist of our fine recording. (see pic.)
I would urge anyone visiting the fine city of York to pop in to their marvelous penthouse emporium of old vinyl and hunt yourself out some bargains (as well as the Mutants album, of course).
Cheers guys!

Annonymous Bloke

Special thanks to the bloke who bought a copy of the record from me whilst I was in Crash Records. Hope you're not too disapointed!

Record Shops

Great news for the discerning record buyers amongst you. The album is now available from Jumbo Records and Crash records in Leeds. Both fine establishments which I would encourage anyone to visit whilst in the fine region of the world that is Yorkshire. Both shops have top notch mail order services too, so check those out if you don't live in the area (and looking at the stats of people that have visited here that's about 99%). I will post links to their sites soon.

Vinyl OUT NOW!!

Bueno amigos, por fin ha llegado! ¿Qué podría haber sido un momento en el tiempo, olvidado para siempre (y probablemente debería tener) está ahora disponible para aquellos de ustedes que todavía tienen platos. Como he dicho antes, este es un álbum de un solo lado que contiene todas las pistas en los enlaces de Rapidshare con un poco de charla de radio al principio. Insto a todos a comprar un ejemplar. Huelga decir que se convertirá en un artículo de los colectores y las manos muy pronto el comercio de mega $ $ $. Así que tu ahora por un precio de ganga. En el primer caso te sugiero que echa un vistazo a la buena gente de la disquera Detour (enlace ver) que las acciones de una gran cantidad de cosas interesantes. Por otra parte, voy a poner un feww arriba en Ebay si es más fácil para la gente.

Vinyl OUT NOW!!!

Well folks, it's finally arrived! What could have been a moment in time, forgotten forever (and probably should have)is now available to those of you who still have turntables. As I said earlier, this is a one-sided album that contains all the tracks in the Rapidshare links plus a bit of radio talk at the begining. I would urge you all to buy a copy. Needless to say it will become a collectors item very soon and trade hands for mega$$$. So get your now for a bargain price. In the first instance I suggest you check out the good folks at Detour Records (see link)who stock a whole bunch of cool stuff. Alternatively, I'll put a feww up on Ebay if it's easier for people.

All tracks now in 1 folder

Ok, so I decided to put all the tracks in one, easy to download RAR folder. Should have done this to begin with I guess, but I thought it would be easy for people without premium accounts to get one track quickly. Anyway, you've got the choice now. Please leave a comment, positive or negative but preferably not mediocre!

Well, music lovers, it's been a long time coming, but the tracks are finally in the process of being converted to vinyl. Because we don't have enough songs to make a whole album, we're making half an album! Meaning five tracks on one side and nothing on the other. This will be a ltd. edition of 500, on very collectable black vinyl. Just have to figure out how to distribute them then.
