A much-loved opus with a side-long concept piece.A bona fide inspirational rock classic.“Tony McPhee has turned to anarchic paranoid battlegrounds of the mind for inspiration,” Melody Maker.And a second side that delivers the mighty ‘Cherry Red’, McPhee’s take on The Beatles’ ‘A Day In the Life’, a sideswipe at junk food and a glorious interpretation of John Lee Hooker’s ‘Groundhogs Blues’.“Both musically and lyrically, ’Split’ speaks for a lost time, a nomad time when ideals took to the hoof and musicians stayed on the road rather than confront the fact that the ’60s ‘war’ had been lost.” – Julian Cope “Murky, fuzzy, and wisely esoteric.” – AllMusic.Supercharged, fractured and raging.” – MOJO Remastered and packaged with bonus tracks on the download (out-takes from the original sessions that spawned this spontaneous monster).
