Lemon Kittens - We Buy A Hammer For Daddy

Apparently, I listen to strange music (judging by the looks on the faces of those close to me when I try to play it to them). Even by my standards...this is STRANGE!

In the early '80s, a good friend lent me his copy of the vinyl and it completely messed with my head. I had no idea that such ideas existed...obviously they did and it changed they way that I viewed the world. Alongside The Fall, The Birthday Party, Psychic TV and Crass...Lemon Kittens provided my soundtrack for quite a while.

Lemon Kittens were Karl Blake (who went on to record as the excellent Shock Headed Peters) and Danielle Dax (who made a more mainstream career from the mid-late '80s as a bit of a "Goth Sex Kitten" as I remember her repulsively described).

This was the second release on (founder member of Nurse With Wound) John Fothergill's visionary United Dairies label in 1980. This was re-released on Danielle's Biter Of Thorpe label in 1993. I own both formats. There is a sort-of review here so don't say I didn't warn you.
