random notes
From the original sleeve notes of "Stack Waddy" (who were reprinted
from a magazine called "Zigzag"): "Yeah... Stack Waddy. Sweet,
charming and gentle. Play the f..... heaviest music you ever heard. They're no
band to sit and listen to - you have to get up and leap, while you're audially
raped and plaster falls from the ceiling. You'll love them, or hate them."
From the original sleeve notes of "Bugger Off!"
(by John Peel): "On stage they were loud, aggressive, fairly pissed and
remarkably unsubtle - as befitted musicians who where often forced to supplement
their meagre gig money by working days on construction sites. Their frustrations
and energies were poured into music that it was impossible to ignore. In fact
you were better off not to try to ignore it because one of the many Stack Waddy
atrocity stories has John Knail jumping off-stage to beat to the floor a man who
was paying more attention to his lady than to the band. Even if the story is
untrue, it sums up the band's attitude to their music."
From the original sleeve notes of "Stack Waddy":
"John doesn't claim to sing, his voice acting more as an instrument than a
method of conveying words... Mick produces the most incredible noises out of his
old battered machine... Stuart's bass chews its way through a number, while his
hair flies as he leaps about like a soul in everlasting torment... Steve
provides a form of percussion of an alpine rockfall intensity..."
