Nick Saloman: all instruments, etc.


The first album of Nick, and what a start! Consider that in the 80s hardly any good music was produced (allright, there are exceptions...); most bands from the 60s/70s were either abandoned, or were producing sort of 'modern' sounding music. Miasma however continues the style of rock music that made the 70s so remarkable. Nothing retro here, but genuine rock.

The original Miasma release (2 times 250 pressings) were on Woronzow and in laminated sleeves. Woronzow pressed another 500 copies later, but these came in matt finished sleeves. These Woronzow presses came with white and purple labels, and 'gibberish' messages in the run out grooves (along the outer edge of the white center label):
The message on Side 1 says "The electric denture cream of Dermot Walsh. Lost on Shrove Tuesday aboard the last but one train to San Fernando."
The message on Side two says: "Not to be taken in suppository form without permission of the friends of The Bevis Frond who are named on the label on side A.".
