Standing on the verge of getting it on
Having spent every last penny for the last years on a record label that few people have any interest in or
understanding of I was in no mood to consider working with another band and certainly not one that hadn't
played a gig or had been missing for years with three unreleased albums But I have done many things
over the years sometimes for money sometimes for free and sometimes because insanity is a far more
rational approach to a complex situation than trying to think things through properly And that's how I ended
up agreeing to help TC Lethbridge until they found someone more suitable
TC is an album recorded by TC Lethbridge in Avebury years ago It was remastered by the same
person who remastered the recent Led Zeppelin re issues Don't ask about that either that's another story
altogether Flinton met me backstage at The Barbican London on st May after John Sinclair had performed
with The Founder Effect supporting Marshall Allen and The Sun Ra Arkestra The gig was to celebrate
years since the birth of Sun Ra and it was a suitable venue to hand over the TC master The album was
released on November rd by Iron Man Records along with Moon Equipped and another album called Mina
The band have been missing for years and now they are back playing gigs a book by John Higgs and three
albums on Iron Man Records
I should mention that Thomas Charles Lethbridge was born rd March and passed away on th
September You may be interested to know that th September is my birthday Let me be clear: I
am not the reincarnation of TC Lethbridge If I had come up with a good reason not to work with the band
of the same name it still wouldn't have stopped anything It appears from birth despite my protesting I
have been destined to know TC Lethbridge and release the records by a band of the same name You cant
make this stuff up no one would believe it Give the music a listen you might like it
