OFFICIAL REMASTERED GORGEOUS VINYL VERSION OF MEN OPENING UMBRELLAS AHEAD!
It's finally here, after all these years. Vivian Stanshall's real "Men Opening Umbrellas Ahead" album just as it was, only better. It's remastered and official.
(Please note. The shoddy CD put out by something called Harkit Records is and was a bootleg of the worst sort. Ignore it!)
My pink half of the drainpipe... separates me from the incredibly fascinating story of your life and every day to day event in each and every tedious attempt into detail: was it a Thursday or a Wednesday or — what the hell does it matter? Because you're normal and if you're normal I intend to be a freak for the rest of my life and I shall baffle you with cabbages and rhinos in the kitchen and incessant quotations from Now We Are Six through the mouthpiece of Lord Snooty's giant poisoned electric head.
So t h e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e r r r r r r r r r r r r e!
Review of GingerGeezer.net for
by Andy Sully, Senior Broadcast Journalist, BBC Text, TV Centre
The phrase "eccentric" is wildly overused, but for the late Vivian Stanshall nothing else can suffice.
A musician, writer, artist, raconteur and all-round one-off - the UK just doesn't seem to produce his sort any more!
This site, with a mass of Viv-related material, is run by his family. It's touched with a sense of surreal fun which Vivian would have loved.
