From 1984 and the weirdest cover you will ever hear! James Brown gets the Flying Lizards treatment which means disjointed, sampled noise, spoken posh girl vocals and humour. Sparse minimalism! This was the last release from the David Cunningham studio project “The Flying Lizard” ; it featured the deadpan voices of Michael Upton (R.I.P. -a painter and contemporary of David Hockney) and Sally Peterson (famous voice over artist) “Flesh & Steel” is even more avant garde, drum machines, voice and orchestral samples; the sound of artists getting to grips with the, then, amazing possibilities of samplers. Pioneering stuff !

I never heard this at the time. Thank you.
To this day I still listen & smile at Dizzy Miss Lizzy but I have never heard the 12″ of that either.
Did you hear that thud? That was the sound of my jaw hitting the floor.
WTF is this? Wow. You’re a musical archaeologist extraordinaire!
I didn’t realise that I failed to request a re-up for this corker. Could you add it to my list please?
Woo-hoo! Thank you!
crazy stuff but I love it … do you also have MONEY and SUMMERTIME BLUES by them?
On my list! 😉
Winx / Djjedredy,
I have the 12er for Money and if there is a 12” for S.B. then I do not have that one. I believe the Summertime Blues track may be on the flip of Money. It’ll be in the next 80’s batch!!
How did it never cross my mind that there could be a 12″ remix of Money? Bated breath!
also, you really should include your witty comments in your rar archives! I think we all love reading them.
;-D
Really ? Looking back on some of them they are a bit cringe worthy 🙂
Hi. This one might complete the set for me. Please could you re-up on something other than Zippy? Thanks
And this is the other one I was looking for. You never disappoint 🙂
