Tony Sinden / Alan Baker & The Insects: Magnificent Cactus Trees... (Piano Records, 1979)
One of the scuzziest sounding records I have, in one of the scruffiest and most badly designed sleeves. A scratchy, repetitive, minimal guitar motif is complemented by tinny bongos and the intermittent and intrusive hiss of machine noise.
A price sticker affixed to the label shows that the record passed through the Record & Tape Exchange in Notting Hill, and was gradually reduced in price from 40 to 20 to 10. I'm assuming pence.
I don't really know what this record is for, but I like it, and listen to it whenever I want music that sounds like a faulty clock in an empty factory with a hole in the roof.
