- ..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
- "made in England" - FLY RECORDS -
- Exceedingly scarce 50+ years ago first print of a once upon a time London underground artifact to be filed along with THE DEVIANTS.
- Hard to expect LYRICS INSERT in this copy!!!
- Astonishingly powerful three piece heavy underground rock-band from the the cusp of 1970, starring guitarist Terry Stamp. They can be immediately head-turned on their 1971 album, tearing into such cuts as 'Ascension Day', which was their first single release, and eight other scorching hard rockers, including 'Get Out Of Bed You Dirty Red' and 'Preaching Violence.'
The band name sucks for a start - and that negative-tinted photo of some snotty five-year old kid on some inner city estate somewhere screaming his downtrodden proletariat head off don’t help either. There’s a woman being caned in a cartoon on the rear – no doubt some snot-nose upper-class male chauvinist type giving a serving wench a damn good trashing because she put the soup spoons out in the wrong order. You then glance back at the band name again (Third World War for God's Sake) and imagine some dreadful Prog diatribe on 'the kids man' buggering off to Narnia before the Russians drop the bomb. But instead what you're getting is a razor-sharp Proto Punk album about 'real life in working class England issued in early 1971 on Fly Records (home of T. Rex and John Kongos) - all spitting and snarling when most people had never heard of the word 'punk'.
Third World War's self-titled debut album (sometimes known as "Ascension Day" after its opening track) is a brilliant album – a sort of hard-hitting musical hybrid between The Stooges, and even The MC5. The lyrics paint no hippie dreams of where they live and what their future prospects are either – it’s all 'power to the workers' and echoes of U.K. famous prison, "Wormwood Scrubs" ("hello Mick Jagger & Keith Richards") and ripped up phone booths.
Then there's the voice of principal songwriter TERRY STAMP spitting out venom like "...Let's free the working class...we're tired of licking the Government's ass..." His larynx is not pretty either – course and gravely and yet amazingly right for the band's sound and politics as he snarls about angry unemployed teenagers on the roofs of buildings where he urges them to "...pull your grenade pin and I'll pull mine..." (how thoughtful). There are delightful song titles like "Get Out Of Bed You Dirty Red" and "M.I.5's Alive" (any wonder the UK radio wouldn’t touch them with a torch-pole?)
Then there's Stamp's 'guitar' sound that he refers to in the liner notes of the LP as 'chopper guitar' because it zips along. Impressive eh? It bloody is and all...here are the poverty lines...
The album opens with the incendiary "Ascension Day" where lyrics like "...load your magazine clip...I'll load mine..." thrilled open-minded radio programmers at the London radio (well maybe not). Immediately your struck by the gritty voice that predates the snotty punk movement by six years (it was recorded between September and November 1970) and that treated 'choppy' guitar sound Stamp gets is a unique to the ears feel." Said that, but it's the amazing "M.I.5's Alive" that really takes you by the scuff – 8:05 minutes of guitar-chugging driven 60's. Even at that length it doesn't overstay itself and lyrics like "..fucking down the royalty...is a breach of faith and national disloyalty..." reminds you of another angry band in 1977 who didn't spare the sex-of-pistols bollocks either. As THIRD WORLD WAR let the guitars rip and gives the song a Van Morrison "Them"-on-speed vibe - it's hard not to throw embarrassing shapes in your living room (fabulous stuff). "And there's people out of work here...there could be a riot here..." Stamp warns on the weirdly jaunty "Teddy Teeth Goes Sailing" where it sounds like Kevin Ayers doing a vicious whimsical ditty. Back to the hard-hitting 'chopper' guitar of another winner "Working Class Man" which features Bobby Keys ( long-days back-up of Rolling Stones fame) on winds as the song freaks out towards the end.
Side 2 opens with "Shepherds Bush Cowboy" – a song about untoward propositions in a dive on your third beer and a fight with a skinhead (delightful). The uncharacteristically gentle acoustics of "Stardom Road Part 1" comes as a genuine shock after all that thrashing - a sad and hurting song with lyrics about the music business's attitude towards homosexuals. It's "Part II" picks up the pace drastically which fragments into belching and burping whimsy with "Get Out Of Bed You Dirty Red" where "...the Communist Party shakes your hand...and you can play in our red band..." It ends on the heaviest Stooges moment of the album – huge distorted guitars introduce the anti-religion song "Preaching Violence" where the words take no prisoners – " God Loves you..." Wow!
