Lemon Kittens - " We Buy A Hammer For Daddy " (United Dairies UD-02 )1980

Due to the immense popularity of the Lemon Kittens debut ep,-"Spoonfed and Writhing",(posted earlier in this blog); I feel it my duty to post their best work,the "We Buy A Hammer For Daddy" lp. Now just a duo, of Danielle Dax and Karl Blake, they produced one of the most startlingly original lp's of the DIY era.Sort of John cage meets the Krankies on bad LSD. The obvious lack of musical technique is more than made up for by that long forgotten ingredient, ideas and originality.
