The latest silliness from Gipsy Hill’s own Wat Tyler. Everyone who lives here is obviously very proud. This 7” contains four tracks – a folk song about the Sheriff of Nottingham opens Side A and this is quickly followed up by “Mr Crust and Two Veg” apparently an old Cress song set to Mr Men music! The song itself is all about vegetarianism so there you go.

Side B is much stronger opening with Liar Liar (Pants On Fire) – fuck knows what the chorus is about with its cries of “perpetual lying scientist” but it’s my favourite song on the 7” because of the vocals. I always seem to like the Tyler songs with female vocals the best!

Another blinding track to close the 7” – the straightforward punk rock of History Of The Soviet Union Part 2 – the 2nd in a series of 45 :-) This song is also available on the Erdata Ishee comp.
