The Heads - For Mad Men Only / Born to Go (Edit) [GREEN VINYL] (7" Single)

Add to Cart

Bristol's sike merchants the Heads have a 20 year anniversary to celebrate this week with their third studio album, Under Sided, originally released in March 2002. They've decided to release a box set of that double-album, with a double-album of demos, their third peel session, and other such unreleased gems. That's going to be released at the end of August / September.

Whilst trawling through the cassettes, CDRs, and ephemera in order to create the forthcoming Under Sided 20th anniversary reissue box set, The Heads found their cover of May Blitz's For Mad Men Only, originally released as part of a '70s tribute comp LP on Small stone Records. Also unearthead was their version of Hawkwind's Born to Go a full-on 13-minute unedited version (a version of which appeared on the Rocket Records 10" Out Demons Out).

How about doing a limited 7" single to announce the box set's impending release... ideal, once Born to Go was edited down (the full version is in the box set, of course!) Simon Price came up with a suitable wraparound sleeve idea... and the two tracks were pressed to vinyl... 900 copies (450 of two colours!) have been made.

This is a full on, pedals set to stun, grooves set to vibrate sike assault, with The Heads at this point in time revelling in the peak of their psychedelic rock powers, and pretty much obliterating all around, then, and now. This ain't no gentle-whimsy-psych indie rock this is the real brown-acid-gobbling mind-melting beast you were warned about... get on board!
