I just ripped that 7 inch single to MP3 and hosted it on Divshare If anyone wants to hear it. Apologies for the scratched and battered condition and the needle skipping halfway through, it's old and in poor shape...

That one's eluded me for years.
The German bootleg label Das Schweingrippe Records has recently unearthed some tape loop and jug experiments from the summer between the end of Banana Banana and the formation of Lesbian Horse.
After sacking his entire band following a particularly good batch of Che Guevara Acid Blotters, Rod Fulsome (Born Todd Hunter), teen heart throb and 1966 pipe smoker of the year, changed his name to The Aquarian Pastor and recorded briefly as Vibrational Headband, combining distorted tape manipulations and honking jug sounds.
Only truly committed fans/acolytes will be able to stand the high pitched whining, slurred acid ramble lyrics and queasy jug band stomp on these "lost" recordings, typified by the 8 minute hallucinogenic opus, "Lollypop Fairground Pixie Color Wheel"Posted 13th April 2009 at 08:53 PM by FakeRock -

Too much for my pocket I'm afraid, although I did fork out £46.77 for a rare solo 7 inch by The Aquarian Pastor, recorded under his Space Floozy Alias. The one sided, 23 second effort came out on the More Cranium imprint. Beige vinyl too!Posted 13th April 2009 at 08:35 PM by Sam@Cult Labs

The labyrinthine recording history of this fine band throws up many interesting grey market albums.
Brave fans with a couple of hundred pounds to spare can invest in the 30 LP box set "Howling Frenzy". It's compiled with out-takes from the wildly experimental 1974 "Acid Horse Acid" sessions.
Locked in the studio by their band leader from 4 months, with inadequate food, contaminated water and no facilities for basic hygiene, the group were forced by hired goons to jam on pain of torture. Improvised grooves sometimes lasted for 36 hours, as musicians played until they collapsed, only to be shot up with industrial grade uppers by teams of corrupt doctors. 100s of the decades finest psychedelic musicians died, became insane or suffered a lifetime of ill health because of the project, which went on to win an Ivor Novello award*, an Oscar for best soundtrack and the condemnation of Amnesty International.

** Several Lesbian Horse tracks were used in Mexican Auteur El Pene Duro's 1975 masterpiece of hedonism and loose morals "Cuentos del Rampantness"Posted 13th April 2009 at 08:17 PM by FakeRock

There's a thriving bootleg market for live recordings on eBay.
Their 1972 set in which the band attempted to harness enough psychic energy to levitate the Isle of Wight is a real winner!Posted 13th April 2009 at 07:51 PM by Sam@Cult Labs -

We should open a trade section on the site for Lesbian Horse albums - I'll never complete my collection waiting for iTunes to get their act together.Posted 13th April 2009 at 07:23 PM by Almar@Cult Labs
