It Was 36 Years Ago Today

Robert Fripp and Brian Eno went into Command Studios to record Swastika Girls - the track that would become side two of the legendary No Pussyfooting album.

The album was reissued last year in a deluxe package which featured the infamously reversed version of the record as played by John Peel and the slowed down half-speed rendition of The Heavenly Music Corporation.

The album is available over at the mail order shop but if you'd like to get your hands on a copy for free simply send an email marked F&E in the header (lest ye be cast into the pit of spam) to competitions@dgmlive.com. Don't forget to include a postal address. We'll announce the lucky winner on Sunday 9th August.

The reissue got some raves reviews at All About Jazz, Pitchfork, Dusted and you can read my own take on how the album used to get played back when it was first released over on the blog.
