Climbing the Hairway to Steven

No.31 of The Bathtime Experiment on Shore Radio Edinburgh. Recorded live on a Thursday night from 9-11pm. Not as heavy in the first half as I thought/said/promised it would be. Lots of gibbering though and some new/old Scottish noise with a prog follow through at the end. Including tracks from the frozen wastes of the North and a heartsmashing tale of love/brotherhood in the face of death from above to Italian electro-gaze, mid 60s garage psyche and more.

Beginning in Canada, ending in Canterbury and leaving for the dark beyond this edition provides you with the featured album/ep from ex Vasquez basshemoth THUS, Uncle Frank and company ask difficult questions of Bob Dylan, the prog perusal this week could be almost one of three but settled on the sprightly National Health and Rick Wakeman's aquatic dinosaur battle provides the strange track. The album it is on has sold 14 million copies since its release in 1974. 14 million. Serious.
