'UNEARTHED LIVERPOOL CULT CLASSIC'S VOL
3'
RELEASE DATE
- July 2004
With
the success of the previous two volumes in this series, The
Viper Label decided it was time to release the final volume
in the triolgy. This is yet another 'storming collection of
scouse nuggets' from the seventies to the present day. Vol
3 begins with Liverpool's first Punk band The Spitfire Boys
with a song called 'British Refugee' from 1977 featuring future
Frankie Goes to Hollywood member Paul Rutherford on vocals
and ends with The Hokum Clones, one of Liverpool's finest new
bands around, covering a song that started it all in the mid
1950's, Leadbelly's 'Rock Island Line'. This album also features
a lost song by Shack called 'Up' thought to be destoryed in
a fire in 1991, The ID, an early incarnation of OMD with the
original version of 'Electricity', and 'Hey Disco Joe' by Wah!
Heat ' live' at the last night of Erics and many more gems.
Once again this album reaffirms what a truely great musical
city Liverpool is and will continue to be. These albums are
the ultimate record of Liverpool underground music.

Press Notes
" Merseyside's
very own ' Nuggets ' and should be revered as such. "
Tim Peacock, Whisperin and Hollerin, Aug 2004.
" Through the 70's & 80's Liverpools precocious underground scene was
bulging with personality, more so than the more reserved artists in Manchester
- The fact that Viper have reached Vol 3 seems to prove the point. "
Mick Middles, Record Collector, Aug 2004.
"These
three CD's are
modern psychedelic nuggets - each and every track has some
type of historic value attached to it and is literally a
goldmine of quality" Alternative Malta Sept 2004
"Unearthed is a wonderland of post punk lost classics"
Terry
Banks The Big Takeover Sept 2004
