Another generous gift from Phil Long. Saves me from ripping this stunning album of The Shrubs.
Check my previous entry on The Shrubs for more info. I've posted both 12"s on Ron Johnson a while ago.
'Take Me Aside For A Midnight Harangue' was recorded at Emma's Koeienverhuurbedrijf in Amsterdam and produced by Dolf.
This one was also posted on the very short-lived Asparagus Tea blog. For those who missed it, here's a chance to listen to it.

Rhodri, gonna check the JWC myspace site. What's this with all those bands reforming?
Other than their track on the 'C86' tap (all those years ago), I didn't know anything by the Shrubs. So this album and the two preceding eps came as a revelation to me. WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL! Thank you.

Excellent stuff in your blog! Very many thanks for RJ stuff. May I leave a wish post: out-of-print A Witness records (Loudhailer Songs EP)& maybe Great Leap FWD. Death by Milkfloat too. Ron Johnson and Vinyl Drip records were so good. Regards. d.

Timelessly brilliant and still my favourite album ever, even after all these years. Great that there are bands today, notably Sarandon, keeping the spirit of Ron Johnson records alive.

Donna
