Midnight Rags - The Werewolf Of London
I promised my vinyl rip of this 1980 goth-psych classic a few months ago after the Paul Roland Bam-Caruso post. This record remains impossible to classify or pigeon-hole - the teenage Roland dabbles in a multitude of influences and styles to produce a crazy, enjoyable cocktail of horror b-movie nostalgia, Numanesque synthpop, early Stranglers-style pub rock, acoustic English folk and Bolan'ised glam. If only nineteen year old songwriters today were as good as Roland, music in the modern era could be credible. Blades Of Battenberg and Public Enemy were singles and Peel favourites, so Roland began to build on a small worldwide following as a solo artist in his own right.
I used to be a werewolf, but I'm alright noooooooooooooow!
Ripped from a vinyl album released on Ace Records (ACE 013) in 1980 to high quality lossless flac audio.
