Ok, this vinyl is not that hard to track down but a 1991 vinyl release is still 33 years of wear and tear you hope is not visible to your eyes and ears when you click buy.
This time its ‘Congratulations’ by Jefferson Airhead, later to become Airhead, the previous name chosen as a parody of Jefferson Airplane, hence the need to change when signed, dropping the ‘Jefferson’ from their name on request of Jefferson Airplane’s record label.
The reason I was after this was not just the collection but the cover, it’s a fold out zine, the like of which you don’t see these days.
I have never been able to shake this band, they just clicked in my head and never went away, the catchy melodie’s, often just jangly guitars and wide variety of interesting takes on sound all packaged up in an early 90s indie box just works. The only shame is they were so short lived as a band.
