Come in and Get Vrot
Since 2023 a number of reports and news stories have remarked on the similarity of themes, with life during the 1970s and 1980s – global military and environmental threats, labour unrest, financial skittishness, and the Ukraine -- in addition, the theme of separating propaganda from real news. It was also a time of experimenting with music.I thought, why not re-issue Come in and Get Vrot - a recording made for circulation to friends. This primitive recording is about as close one can get to a taped field recording, with the exception of taped over harmonies here and there. Then there are the technical music glitches!

Miscellaneous Half-breed Blues
New South African Dream Graham Owen sings his wicked tongue-in cheek story. An unwitting prediction of the composition of the currrent South African National Anthem!
