CD release (1CD): Virgin CDV 3504, released in 1991.
Record #1 is pure power pop and works quite well; record #2 is very innovative avant-garde with Robert Wyatt.
In 1988, Brian Godding released a great instrumental jazz-rock LP called "Slaughter on Shaftesbury Avenue", recorded for the most part with GLS and where he played some of the themes from Sanity Stomp #2.
Says Kevin about 'Sanity': " I was quite ill when I made that record, as a matter of fact; I was quite mad, basically. That’s why it’s called Sanity Stomp. I had a nervous breakdown and, ironically, I don’t want to say ironically...amazingly...I was able to carry on making records. That’s a record I made when I was clinically ninety-five per cent nuts, and the themes are rather odd, but somehow it comes out as sounding all right. I’m amazed."
Cheers Folks

Hiya Poor,
I was astounded and thrilled to find this blog. I've been a Kevin Coyne fan since the Siren days. At that time Rolling Stone magazine was giving away both Siren LPs with a paid subscription. Yep, I'm old. In fact, I was born the same year as Kevin, and was saddened to hear of his death (on this blog). Anyway, I plan on mining your wonderful site in the days ahead, and want to thank you for putting this tribute together.
Mike
Fantastic blog! Kevin's been a favourite of mine since my pre-punk days, and I never realised at the time that so many other punks were into him. You've certainly saved me some time ripping my old vinyl...Thanks very much.
By the way, you haven't got Politicz ripped have you, my vinyl sounds OK, but judging by what I've heard here, I bet yours is better!
Thanks again
Thanks for nice words styreneboy.
But Politicz is available album and WILL NOT BE posted here.
You can order album via
Pascal's Kevin Coyne Page!
