mp3: The Green Telescope – Face In A Crowd
“The Green Telescope offered a raw mix of fuzz guitar, reedy organ and deranged vocals that sounded so authentic on their two singles that they sounded like off-cuts from seminal ’60s psych-garage compilation, Nuggets.
The first, Two by Two was on Imaginary Records, while the follow-up Face In A Crowd was the sole release (in July 1986) on the Wump label, and featured a cover of Thoughts Of A Madman by The Nomads (originally released in 1967) on the flip. Soon after they morphed into the Shakespearian-sounding Thanes of Cawder before simply becoming The Thanes. Subsequently, the band’s founder, Lenny Heisling, has also been a music journalist of note.”
