Little Green Onion Man 7''
(2008, Happy Jack Rock Records)
Released
around 8 months AFTER the release of Bad Football, this
single for "Little Green Onion Man," offers up a
surprisingly strong b-side, considering the hit and miss style of the
previous two The Takeovers LPs. What the hell, The Takeovers? Quit playin' with my emotions!!!. Limited to 1000 CDs and 950 (yes, 950) 7''s.
SIDE
A:
Rich
Man’s Girl- 3 Total
downtrodden basement tape with overdubbed instrumental parts to
resurrect this fairly decent demo into a listenable and pretty
enjoyable lost gem. Nothing of great note, but one wonders why
this was hidden on an EP while “The Jester of Helpmeat” takes up
LP space?
Side
B:
Wigstomper
07- 4 The
worst excuse for a song from Turn To Red gets revamped in the
year OH SEVEN. This time, whatever inside joke appeared on the
LP is now a boombox recording of a Nirvana “Bleach”-era type cut. Where the hell did this come from?
Instigator-
3 What
sounds like another demo with added instrumental overdubs is a simple
toe-tapper with breezy vocals. Again, a refreshing add on to a
relatively obscure EP, capping off the strongest release by The
Takeovers.
Bob logic: no, no, let's save the GOOD version of "Wigstomper" for the E.P.
