Andy: “ ‘You're A Good Man Albert Brown’ is pub psychedelia; an attempt to be anyone who ever did a pub single . . . it's the sound of the pub on the corner of Carnaby Street.” Dave: “The Wah-Wah and Sceptre!” Andy: “There'd be a Chelsea Pensioner sitting outside — Steve Marriot's grandad! Jimi Hendrix would be popping in between sets at The Marquee for half pints . . . it's like Oscar's ‘Over The Wall We Go’, Whistling Jack Smith's ‘I Was Kaiser Bill's Batman’, ‘The Universal’, a couple of Bonzos things.”
Gary Pig Gold: “'67 Kinks Khorus with a Rutles dash. Piano solo Mungo Jerry 1970 (early!). Laughing at end from end of ‘We're Only in it for the Money’ (the song based on Kafka's ‘Penal Colony’ ...forget the name...)”
Promotional video, 3'04?.
Released on 9 April 2009 on Psonic Psunspot in the

Well you're a good man Albert Brown
And you was wounded in the war
And though you shot some people down
You're still a good man Albert Brown
Well you're a good man Albert Brown
Though you are drunk upon the floor
And if you're buying the next round
Then you're a good man Albert...
Brown was the colour of the mud across the Somme
Red was the blood you spilled upon it
Pink were the fingers of the nurse who dressed your wound
White was the starch upon her bonnet
And you married that nurse
And her name was Else
And then along came dad
...I'll have another pint of...
Brown is the colour of your old walking boots
Green is the cash you'd love to squander
Gold is the colour of your wife's faithful heart
So get yourself home, no more to wander
And you married that nurse
And her name's still Else
And another child was had
You're a good man Albert Brown

Hi !
Here's the bass tablatures for the 11 (great) songs from the classic "Black
Sea". A lot of repetitive bass lines, but also some tricky parts.
Sorry if there's any mistakes, and I hope you'll enjoy those basslines as
much as I do.
Cheers,
Florian.
