THE BEVIS FROND

Any Gas Faster

Original UK LP released on Reckless Records in 1990. Includes printed insert.

For all the isolated moments of brilliance on the Bevis Frond's first three albums (not counting the vinyl-only experiment Acid Jam and the compilations Bevis Through the Looking Glass and The Auntie Winnie Album), it was not until 1990's Any Gas Faster that Nick Saloman came up with a record that was truly strong from start to finish. It's probably not coincidental that Any Gas Faster was also the first album Saloman recorded in a proper studio instead of on his bedroom four-track; perhaps having to keep one eye on the studio clock caused Saloman to approach the task of recording with a somewhat more determined air. Because that's really the difference: the songs on Any Gas Faster just sound that little bit more purposeful, even acoustic interludes like "These Dark Days."

As a result, Any Gas Faster rocks harder than the previous albums without the sludge that occasionally bogs those records down. Martin Crowley's fleet drumwork undoubtedly helps an awful lot here; with Saloman on drums, a song like "Then You Wanted Me" would lumber, but here, it's almost punky in its hard-rocking intensity. And that one's got nothing on the breakneck "Olde Worlde," one of the most manic things Saloman's ever come up with, with a closing dual-guitar battle like Television might sound after Verlaine and Lloyd had slammed a dozen espressos each.

For traditionalists, there are also a few of Saloman's trademark melodic rockers, with the delicately sorrowful "This Corner of England" and the anthemic "Lord Plentiful Reflects" among the highlights in the more typically Bevis-like vein.

---------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SEVEN (7) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

***Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually***

---------------------------------------------------

COMBINED POSTAGE FOR DIFFERENT FORMATS will be invoiced at my discretion:

While I am happy to combine (for example) one or two 7” singles into one package with 12” records, sometimes it simply isn’t practical (like if you want me to combine one 12” record with three or more 7” records). I simply do not think that these combinations can be packaged together safely and securely. Therefore these will be invoiced separately as two packages.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE, please contact me before bidding!

---------------------------------------------------

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
