The first album Morgan recorded in Londons Pipe Studios (actually a TEAC 4-track recorder set up in his Notting Hill bedsit). This bizarre album was originally conceived (with the collusion of Iain McNay, Cherry Reds boss) as a spoof compilation album featuring a variety of 'bands' from Peabody, an obscure little town in Kansas (at that time American towns like Cleveland and Akron were viewed upon as hot-beds of modern rock music). When this concept was stated on the radio and in the press, quite a number of people believed it! In truth, it was all made by Morgan. The musical approach was to take songs and perform them in a way that was diametrically opposite to the original version. Here are the original artists who performed (or pre-formed) the songs, and the styles adopted for these recordings:

1. Richard Harris in the style of The Specials or two-tone.
2. The Sex Pistols in the style of Pinky and Perky (a BBC TV childrens puppet show).
3. Kate Bush in the style of Jah Wobble and reggae/dub.
4. Perry Como in the style of The Sex Pistols and speed punk.
5. Peggy Lee - actually done in a contorted version of her own style.
6. The Brotherhood of Man in the style of Devo.
7. Rod Stewart in a new wave/techno style.
8. Sun Ra - actually an affectionate and slightly twisted version of his own style.
9. The Beatles collaged with a hint of "My Life In The Bush of Ghosts" (Eno/Byrne).
10. The Stranglers in the style of The Residents.
11. The Righteous Brothers in the style of Suicide.
12. Squeeze UK in the style of, er, The Residents meet Pink Floyd? Then a segue into Mott the Hoople in the style of an old 78rpm record by the Palm Court Orchestra.
