Here's another early offering from Monty The Moron, a decade before he changed his name and joined The Damned. It was recorded two years before the previous post, and rather oddly I think it shows a more mature side of him, with songs like 'Little House By The Sea' and 'Falling Rose' being heartfelt ballads, somewhat at odds with his more off-beat offerings like 'The Dentist Song' and 'Collecting Plastic Monsters'. However, there is much to enjoy on this album, although the distortion on 'The Dentist Song' does seem to be on all copies of the tape, but to make up for it I somehow have a rather lovely untitled extra song at the end of my copy, which might make it a unique item. If that isn't enough I've also enhanced and coloured the picture of a young Monty sitting on a motorcycle in his garden, which makes this version of the album a one-of-a-kind. It's just a shame that this is the only other tape that I own.
