i am delighted to report that i now own a fancy "deluxe" edition of BAD NEWS by Bad News!! the CD arrived yesterday, and it looks rather smart.
the important thing with a CD, though, is how it sounds, and it sounds just as funny as it has done for over 20 years! basically, the disc is the whole of their infamous debut album Bad News, only this time seperating the funny swearing bits out from the funny metal songs. also included on the disc are the b-sides from the Bohemian Rhapsody 12", and some of the more interesting moments from the second, ill-fated album Bootleg. alas, the majesty of Heavy Metal Farmer has not made it on to this CD, but if you follow the link above you should be able to download that gem OK!
why is this funny after 20 years? why are Bad News funny at all?? who cares, really, they just are is the answer to both points.
now let me go off and listen to the advice of Bad News in regards of how best to pad your trousers. as the discussion Bad News have around padding your trousers is the only instance of them not arguing with each other, it must be solid advice!!
you gotta kick away the blues, so sing hey hey bad news..........
