biG GRunt 'In Session'

Recorded for the John Peel show in 1970, biG GRunt featured Vivian Stanshall as lead vocalist and two other former members of The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band in their ranks. Bassist Dennis Cowan, who at that time was also a member of The World, was a reliable musical anchor and renowned by his former bandmates for his highly distinctive sense of humour. Saxophonist Roger Ruskin Spear, in addition to having been the most manic member of The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band onstage and the third most prolific songwriter of the outfit (after Stanshall and Innes), was also a self-styled inventor who built bizarre robots, exploding props and absurd mechanical contraptions for their live shows. The other members of biG GRunt were guitarists Bubs White and Borneo Fred Munt, both of whom had been members of The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band's road crew, and powerful drummer Ian Wallace.

Licenced from the BBC the four songs Blind Date, 11 Mustachioed Daughters, The Strain and Cyborg Signal have never been officially released. That is until now. UK independent Mega Dodo has released a very limited 12-inch EP of 500 copies worldwide. It is available as a vinyl release only and will not be re-pressed.
