Nifty O.G. The Dentists’ finest hour! Always entertaining in a classic style.

Christopher Quinn Two of my favorite bands all time (Mott The Hoople and The Dentists) could easily be called rock and roll's band "Most Likely TO..." Both should have reached FAR more people. Hopefully releases like this will bring the joy to at least a few more folks. I have a new cover band called Ward Cleaver & The Beavers. We are taking 50's & 60's classics and marching them into the 21st century. We are pinching this version of Both Sides Now unapologetically!

Precious moves into the Medway Sound for the first time with a fantastic Janice Long session from The Dentists. Released here for the first time ever, this is the band's one and only Radio 1 session, recorded in spring 1987 and featuring their legendary cover of ‘Both Sides Now’.

Two of the remaining three tracks ended up on the Writhing On The Shagpile EP released later the same year but the other song, ‘Heaven’, remained unreleased until it was re-recorded for 1993's Powdered Lobster Fiasco. Sleeve notes by Bob Collins, plus a set of vintage pics on the postcards. Limited to 350 copies.

Songsheet: Both Sides Now, (We Thought We'd Got To) Heaven, Just Like Oliver Reed, A Strange Way To Go About Things.

it's an absolute treat to have both of The Orchids Peel.sessions available digitally and on vinyl. I'd forgotten just how good they sounded. Four fantastic songs - a rip-roaring version of the much loved Caveman and the beautiful Dirty Clothing from the greatest album of the 90s, Unholy Soul. Truly wonderful. richardw27
