CD Digisleeve. Originally self-released by Nick Saloman and limited to just 500 copies, the debut from The Bevis Frond marked the beginning of a highly influential career in underground British neo-psych-rock.

Armed with a four-track portastudio, the success of 1986's "Miasma" saw it unexpectedly sell-out quickly with a repress not far behind.

Sounding as bracing today as it did then, it collects some of Saloman's finest songs.. Hailed as "a Hendrix devotee ever bit as tough and contemporary as the serrated guitar chorales of Sonic Youth and Pixies" by Rolling Stone's David Fricke, his immense psych-stoner-rock has seen him become a cult figure in his own right.

The Bevis Frond's legion of loyal fans includes Teenage Fanclub, Dinosaur Jr and Mary Lou Lord, who have all covered his music.
