This was
the one and only gig by the Monsters, and is therefore of special interest (at
least to the perpetrators). The group disbanded soon after this event. The set
consists of only four originals, later recorded for the "Lost on
Venus" split-LP (with Astroburger). The remainder is a strange mix of
covers: "I Like My Toys" (Idle Race, later recorded by The Tables),
"Pictures Of Matchstick Sun" (The Status Quo – note: Matchstick Sun
was the name of a Norwegian pop group at the time), "War Or Hands Of
Time" (The Master's Apprentices), "Penelope Tree" (Felt),
"My Friend Jack" (The Smoke), "Minstrel Radio Yoghurt"
(Deep Freeze Mice), "I Wanna Destroy You" (The Soft Boys), "Halo
In My Hair" (Bulldog Breed). Not exactly your regular "Gloria"
going on here! It would probably have been a nice thing if this particular
constellation had stayed on track for a while longer.
I have
stored the files at JottaCloud, and this is a direct download link.
