BRIAN SANDS-REHEATED CHOCOLATE TANGOS, 12" EP, 1979, USA



Following on from my post of this eccentric American private press art popper's Fixation LP, here's his debut EP and it's another total charmer. The whiff of R. Stevie Moore emanating off of Fixation is even more in evidence here, right down to the schtick-y asides and tape speed fuckery. Over the course of side A you'll also be treated to defocused Skip Spence-like baladeering, a Buddy Holly style rave-up and a rather Nazz-like cover of The Beatles' "Baby You're A Rich Man", though events veer substantially further askew on the flip, with the three tunes on side B taking on a very Cleveland/
Akron tinge, specifically one pitched somewhere between the Harvey Gold and Andrew Klimek singles that I've shared elsewhere.

Thanks a lot for this. Not as good as the Fixation album, but then it would have to have been pretty great to beat that.
