Review - Big Heavy Stuff
“Cheating on a Dead Wife”
single on Hypnotised thru
Shock
Part two of a double-release by Shock! from Sydney’s Big Heavy Stuff where if you get
both releases and send the coupons away, you get two excellent album releases
and six live tracks which include pre-album songs, and in return for the
coupons you get six more live tunes recorded in Adelaide recently.
Cheating on a
Dead Wife
is a the rocking lead track and title with a mellow intro, John
Lennon vocals and a heavy George
Harrison guitar sound throughout; Covered In Bruises and May, the
live version of the single and Slick
(the non-album track for this release) are all Live at the Jays:
heavy, with that clean and slick production that suggests the recordings could
have been from the album sessions, save for the occasional buzz, click or chat
between tunes. ««««
