electric shocks

• NEW OFFICIAL REMASTERED & EXPANDED CD RELEASE OF THE FIRST SOLO ALBUM BY BONZO DOG BAND’s ROGER RUSKIN SPEAR
• WITH FOUR BONUS TRACKS
• BOOKLET WITH FULLY RESTORED ARTWORK & LINER NOTES

Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce the release of an expanded official remastered edition of "ELECTRIC SHOCKS”, the first solo album by the legendary multi-instrumentalist, eccentric and former Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band member ROGER RUSKIN SPEAR.

Originally released in 1972 on the United Artists label, "Electric Shocks” carried on the wit humour and musical eccentricity that Roger had first explored with the Bonzo’s and featured musicians such as Peter Banks (Yes), The Flamin’ Groovies, Thunderclap Newman and B. J. Cole on this delightfully off-the-wall record.

This Esoteric Recordings edition has been newly re-mastered from the original master tapes and features four bonus tracks that comprised the rare 1971 EP "Rebel Trouser”. The reissue also features an illustrated booklet with new essay.

Track Listing:

• ALL BY YOURSELF IN THE MOONLIGHT
• I’M A FLY
• MATTRESS MAN
• BLUE BABOON (OR I KNOW A RHINO)
• THE LIBERTY LAUGHING SONG
