mona - the carnivorous circus

Joining the release of the trilogy of Deviants albums in April 2009 is this classic solo album recorded in 1970 by Deviants founder and leading counter culture figure Mick Farren. The album featured the two part opus "Carnivorous Circus", a montage of music and speech, which included interviews with a Hell's Angel and Steve Took speaking about the time he spent in Borstal. "

A work of dark genius, the album also included Farren's unique cover versions of two rock and roll classics, Bo Diddley's 'Mona' and Eddie Cochran's 'Summertime Blues'. This Esoteric Recordings reissue has been re-mastered from the original master tapes and restores the album artwork. "
