Buster Jangles’ Flying Mattress –Love Has Taken Over My Brain/The Little World I Knew-RCA 2112 (1971 UK)
A strange one this one... Released in ’71, it comes across like John Kongos tripping out with a muffled Ronnie Bond with abundant lashings of cheap fuzz. The effect is hypnotic through repetition; but a definite winner in my book. Buster Jangles were probably/definitely not a real band, but the results of an overnight session from misled songwriters cum producers Clark and Naylor expanding their horizons while nailed to the beat after an evening out on the tiles...The B side starts off disjointed but then turns into a pleasant Monkees/Sunshine Pop number.
Note: I have a spare vg copy of this single, if anyone has a suitable trade –contact me through my profile page.
