Desert Storm (1993/4)
Whitey W Davis - WWDC 493 Ltd LP and Blues Factory - Howlin' Wolf 1 Ltd 2xLP (single sided)
Tracks: "Horse Machine"; "Street Machine"
The Lord Magick album (in 2 ultra limited versions - different sleeves artwork etc). The PS feature on two tracks and much as I hate to argue with LM (when I'm sober), I was also involved in the writing of the lyrics to these tracks.
"Horse Machine" is the single version and "Street Machine" features LM on vocals and me on the rest. These tracks were recorded during a period where we were all snowed-in. Leven was cut off from the rest of the world for a couple of days - it still didn't make the recordings sound tuneful. |
