Found this in London the other day for well less than the book price which is a staggering £40+. The cover was a bit tatty so that could explain the reduction, fortunately the record itself plays perfectly. For those not in the know, Big Dentist was the very last record by those short lived darlings of musical eccentricity ' The Lemon Kittens' ( Karl Blake and Danielle Dax ) .
It's not as inventive as their debut 'We buy hammer for Daddy' which was an amazing joyride of strangeness (being released a year earlier by that bastion of the sonic underground - Steven Stapleton) but the album sort of takes up and enlarges upon the many directions established in the first album - with the incredible 11 min sonic journey of 'They Are Both Dirty' being testimony to this alone.
For the curious out there check Julian Cope's review on his Head Heritage site... as Mr Cope says this and the debut seriously need re-issuing like yesterday.
