{Out of Print}

Another Chris Spedding effort...

Battered Ornaments were an ambitious rock band put together by lyricist Pete Brown, known for writing many of Cream's songs with Jack Bruce, after that group broke up. Organized in 1969, Battered Ornaments featured Brown on vocals and trumpet, Graham Layden (vocals), Chris Spedding (guitar), Charlie Hart (organ, violin), George Khan (sax), Butch Potter (bass), Rob Tait (drums), and Pete Bailey (percussion).

Layden was an early casualty. The group released an initial LP, A Meal You Can Shake Hands With in the Dark, credited to Pete Brown and His Battered Ornaments, and completed a second, Mantelpiece, before Brown left in a dispute with Spedding. Brown's vocals were then wiped off Mantelpiece and replaced by Spedding. The group continued until Spedding's departure for a 
solo career.

Chris Spedding - Hurt (1977)

Studio recordings @ 320

{Out of Print}

Chris Spedding recharged his career when the '77 era punk explosion emerged. Spedding, a veteran musician who already had three albums of his own and many critical appearances on many other artist's albums, came out with "Pogo Dancing" with The Vibrators. Then, released his eponymous album, Chris Spedding, the best album of his career. His follow-up, Hurt, is a harder rocking LP. Side 2 (on the vinyl) just completely roars with "Wild Wild Women", "Road Runner", the premiere "Stay Dumb", "Get Outa My Pagoda" and winding up with "Hurt By Love". While not as essential as it's predecessor, Hurt is a must have album by a very important artist.
