Additional information
Personnel: Patrick Frost (fiddle). Birkenhead's finest, Half Man Half Biscuit, have been plugging away on the fringes on the British indie scene for nearly 30 years without even coming close to transcending their loyal cult following. The title of their 12th studio album alone, 90 Bisodol (Crimond), a reference to an indigestion medication and a hymn named after a Scottish town, suggests that this isn't going to change any time soon, but like their previous 11 Probe Plus releases, it's an album which never really shows signs of any commercial aspirations, anyway. Indeed, if you haven't yet jumped on board with their acerbic tales of quintessential British life, random pop culture references, and ramshackle post-punk sounds, you're unlikely to do so here. But their ardent fan base is likely to lap up its 12 uncompromising and unique offerings which arguably represent their most biting and twisted effort to date. "Rock And Roll Is Full of Bad Wools" is a vitriolic attack against indie bands who appear on Soccer A.M. set against a backdrop of Pixies-esque, grungy basslines and distorted riffs; "Descent of the Stiperstones" is a slightly deranged, stream of consciousness slice of Hammond-driven, jangly indie based on a meeting with a long-forgotten soap opera actress, while "RSVP" is a murderous tale of a wedding's deadly feast, complete with some contrastingly breezy harmonies, lilting Celtic folk violins, and a quick burst of Wagner's Bridal Chorus. The latter's upbeat sound and dark lyrical approach provide the album's highlight on "The Coroner's Footnote," a jaunty, sea shanty singalong which deals with the somber issue of train-track suicides but luckily, there are a few lighter moments which provide a respite from the prevalent sinister themes, such as the acoustic shuffle of "L'Enfer C'est Les Autres," a sarcastic diatribe against footpath-hogging couples, and the hillbilly rock of "Joy in Leeuwarden," a comical ode to the obscure Dutch sport of Korfball. Of course, 90 Bisodol (Crimond) is likely to leave many either puzzled or even disturbed, but its refreshing unwillingness to compromise and wholly original way with words should further their case as one of the U.K. music scene's alternative national treasures. ~ Jon O'Brien
Reviews
Uncut (p.89) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Half Man Half Biscuit are now the kind of arcane British social institution they themselves might write a song about."

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
