Unavailable on vinyl for quite some time, we are now pleased to present the re-release of "Vampires Stole My Lunch Money", considered one of Mick Farren's (The Deviants) best albums. This powerful, punk-influenced album also features R&B jams and boasts an impressive roster of musicians: Wilko Johnson (Dr. Feelgood), Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders), Sonja Kristina (Curved Air), Andy Colquhoun (The Warsaw Pakt)_ With liner notes by Mike Stax (Ugly Things Magazine). DESCRIPTION After three albums of raw, angry psychedelic street punk with the Deviants and an esoteric solo album (1970's Mona - The Carnivorous Circus), Mick Farren put his musical activities on hold in the early 1970s and focused instead on writing. By 1976, Farren was making a name for himself as an editor at the New Musical Express, where he was instrumental in chronicling the burgeoning punk rock movement that was awkwardly coming to life on the streets and pubs of London, and which he was in some ways promoting. Farren felt a natural affinity for the new youth fashion of pimply-faced punk aspirants, full of piss, vinegar and amphetamines, ranting about anarchy and boredom to a simple rock 'n' roll backbeat.
