HYBRID KIDS-A COLLECTION OF CLASSIC MUTANTS, LP, 1979, UK




The screaming peak of the Morgan Fisher canon, this spectacularly snarky Zappa-worthy faux compilation of a bakers dozen post punk/new wave acts each in turn offering deformed covers of everything from D'ya Think I'm Sexy to McArthur Park to God Save The Queen actually comes across more like thumbnail sketch of the varied and sundry tendencies of the lunatic DIY fringes of the UK's post punk juggernaut, it's expansive canvas really allowing Fisher to go for broke here with volley after volley of higher key electro-doink dada obliteration.

AWESOME. McArthur Park turned into Madness-ska is absurd.
