The Higsons - Attack Of The Cannibal Zombie Businessmen
I met Charlie Higson a few weeks ago and was slightly disappointed that he has now chosen to play down his musical past. Higson has now made his fame and fortune as a writer, then comedian and now a media personality, so I guess he would prefer The Higsons to be forgotten. Nice chap though.
The Higsons were formed in the early eighties at the University Of East Anglia, in Norwich. Though Higson and his fellow musicians were not all locals, The Higsons' sound was very much part of the Norwich sound. This late eighties compilation (originally on Waap Records in 1988) rounds up their early singles and a few later tracks recorded after their only LP, The Curse Of The Higsons which featured here a year or so ago. Highlights are punk/funk toe-tappers Touchdown, Got To Let This Heat Out and Conspiracy. The band also challenge us with a cover of the Buddy Miles' standard Them Changes.
Ripped from a compact disc album released on Mixture Records (SORT 3CD) in 1992 to high quality lossless FLAC audio.
