MU - CHILDREN OF THE RAINBOW (1985)

Reuniting with Jeff Cotton in 1970, Fankhauser then formed the group MU. In 1971 their first album was released and became a radio hit. Increasingly fascinated by legends of the lost continent of Mu, Fankhauser then relocated to the Hawaiian island of Maui in Feb. 1973. A second MU album, without Cotton, was recorded in 1974, but not released until the 1980s. Fankhauser then recorded a solo album, "Maui", issued in 1976.

"Children Of The Rainbow" was a 1985 US limited edition 15-track vinyl LP recorded live in studio on the island of Maui, Hawaii in 1974.

THE SNIVELLING SHITS - TERMINAL STUPID (1977)

This is the edition with a jukebox centre and injection-moulded labels stating Made in France.

Issued on Ghetto Rockers, a reggae subsidiary of Island Records used to circumvent EMI's control over Island's product, an earlier UK pressing on solid-centre paper labels ran to only a maximum of about 1500 copies as the plant supposedly raised reservations over the band's name.
Thanks to fellow New Musical Express journalist Monty Smith, the record became single of the week on the weekly's 6th August 1977 edition and was hurriedly re-pressed in France in greater quantities and distributed in October, this time with large centre-hole plastic labels and in the same picture sleeve.

Songs

A – Terminal Stupid (02:54)
B – I Can't Come! (06:20)
