There were some daffy albums and concepts throughout the 70's, and then there was Deaf School's debut record 2nd Honeymoon. Not that I could accurately describe a record such as this one. Hailing from Liverpool of all places – yes, the same town as The Beatles – but sounding nothing like them at all. This was more like goofy, loony, off-the-wall cabaret or Broadway music, as I believe the lineup was something like seven people (including male and female lead singers), but done in a low budget manner. I'm not convinced it was intentional, which makes the album even more puzzling to contemplate, IMO. Anyway, this was one of those oddball oddities which if you come across, can't hurt to try a few times, but not everyone is going to get it.

The US version of this album title was essentially a large chunk of Sweet Fanny Adams record with "Ballroom Blitz" and "Fox on the Run" thrown on the pile for good measure. For really good measure. The Sweet were never anything but an unabashed good time and this surprisingly hard-edged glam record was no exception.

"WTH is Automobile?" @StreetsDisciple it's a cover (I call it butchery) of a Parilament song off their 1970 Osmium LP ("My Automobile"). This entire record was an abomination. They punked themselves on the way out. Too bad.

The final Blue Cheer record barely deserves a passing mention. It's not very good. There - I mentioned it. Sadly, Dickie Peterson passed away not long after this album was released, which put an end to Blue Cheer as well. I highly encourage everyone to check out all of the records from the original run of Blue Cheer. Definitely, one of the unsung heroes of psychedelic-era rock.

Blue Cheer re-redux, part deux – before they disappeared from LP territory for another 15 or so years. Roughly comparable to early 70's Blue Cheer records – think Oh Pleasant Hope gone 80's heavy rock with a Lemmy-style vocalist in front, and that's this album. Not for everyone, obviously.
