There have been few groups who have managed to produce my 'What the Fuck was THAT!?' face over the years. Off the top of my head I can think of Napalm Death, The Residents, The Shaggs, Blah Blah Blah's 'In The Army' single....along with a select few others. Among these would have to be Jackdaw With Crowbar.Upon first hearing the track 'Crow' on the John Peel show. They seemed obsessed with different types of Fowl, and making chicken noises through megaphones.These iare the kind of moments we all wait for aren't they?
'Crow' isn't on this self-released cassette unfortunately, but it does contain several early versions of tracks that would appear later on their Ron Johnson releases.
So if you like unhinged Anti-American Turkey, Chicken, and Crow noises, backed up by the Magic Band in Dub, then this is for you.
Personally, i always fast forward the Dub tracks, like I do when I play The Bad Brains; a bit too generic for my tastes.....and fucking boring(unless you're stoned)! The opposite of the genius of 'Crow'; which i will be posting chronologically after this post.
Also I think the noble Crow is my favourite animal,so anything with Crow's on it has to be off to a good start.

Thanks for the download of Jackdaw With Crowbar's "Bumper Crop". I saw them a couple of times back in the day. An extraordinary band. I can still say 30+ years later, that they are responsible for one of the best performances I've ever seen.
I have their first 'Big Turkey" cassette - "Block Head". A couple of tracks are shared with 'Bumper Crop" butat least one is a different version - if not both.
Dear gods, this is fucking amazing. More! More!
Indeed Richie...there is even yet another JWC album from 1991,that i will be uploading in a few posts time.
