THIRD WORLD WAR – 1st lp
FLY records – FLY 4 – 1970 – in VERY GOOD playing condition this (in my opinion) early form of Punk Rock is now a classic Rock album and has a captain Beefheart feel to it; the liner sleeve is discoloured and creased ; the green lyric sheet is discoloured at the edges; the jacket is slightly scuffed and bent at the corners but in GOOD condition otherwise.
Third World War was an English rock band formed in 1970 by manager and producer John Fenton together with songwriters Terry Stamp and Jim Avery. Fenton came up with the band's name and provided a large part of its musical direction; Phill Brown, the recording engineer on the band's first album, quotes him as saying, "I want a no-bullshit, working class band—I've had enough of all this pseudo peace crap." Due to this attitude, the band's raucous sound and its revolutionary lyrics, they have been described as "England's first punk band." In 1970 the band recorded their first album, Third World War, which was released in 1971 on Fly Records. Largely, the themes of the album espoused far-left political sentiment. It featured Stamp on rhythm guitar and vocals, Avery on bass, Mick Liber on lead guitars and Fred Smith (drums). Tony Ashton also added piano on some of the tracks, and Jim Price (trumpet and trombone) and Bobby Keyes (saxophone), American musicians who were playing with the Rolling Stones, provided some horn parts.
