Bastro -Nothing Special

[BazWildeClub]

Good version, but My Dad Is Dead's recording for Peel is the definitive one.

Thanks for this posting! :)

I have this same Festive 50 recording, if I remember rightly the next record was 'Groove Is In The Heart' by Deee-Lite.

I picked this up a few years ago at a record shop in North Islington. Haggle? Flashback? Something like that. Great record, although Bastro's version of My Dad Is Dead's song is much better than MDID's version of Bastro's.

I used to own this 7" until someone stole it!

The opposite side featured My Dad is Dead performing Bastro's "Flesh Colored House." Clawfist records did a series of split 7" singles where one band would cover the other's song. Oh ... and David Grubbs from Bastro played guitar on Bitch Magnet's "UMBER."

@clawdad69 Brett - I still have it, and put a download up on my site if you do a search for Bastro.

Your pal,

Will

Someone in this band was in Bitch Magnet...which may have been the best band EVER
