Obscured By...

Featuring The Damned as the psychedelic group Naz Nomad & the Nightmares, from an album purporting to be the soundtrack of a non-existant film.  Also starring a rare orchestrated Fraternity B-side, some Moving Parts and a Radioactive Sandwich.  Ably supported by The Searchers, Nico and rare Australian power pop from the abysmally named but somewhat groovy Beaut.  International stars included Singapore Sling, the Golden Earrings, Pussycat and the interestingly named Ladies WC.  All this and more, produced by Michael Hunter, Cat & Brat dot dot dot.
