In 1986, three young boys
from the Netherland
arrived in London to play
on the stage of the
psychobilly mecqua, the
now legendary Klub Foot.
They play in front of
hundreds of psychos who
discovered that night one
of the best, most beloved
and most influential
psychobilly band :
Batmobile. This is this
historic day this album
gives us the occasion to
hear.
For many years the tapes
of this gig were
considered lost or
destroyed until someone
found them and under the
guidance of Alan Wilson (God
or anyone else bless him)
they were restored and
saved.
So here you have the
whole set, 13 Batmobile
classics from their mini
lp and "Bambooland",
with a booming sound that
does justice to the band
energy and captures the
excitment of their youth.
Considering that
Batmobile never released
a live album (though they
issued two live videos)
this is definitely a must
have. And the historical
aspect of the whole thing
will make you forgive the
occasional out of tune
and trembling voice. Just
remember that was their
first gig abroad, so you
can imagine they were
anxious.
The package is completed
with informative liner
notes and interviews. And
as Alan Wilson interview
suggests, some recordings
from other bands exist
and we can only hope it's
going to be the debut of
a long serie.
