After forming in Brighton in 1984, psycho trio Long Tall Texans made several compilation album appearances before signing to Razor for their debut album, Sodbusters, in 1986. Despite Radio 1 airplay for the singles Should I Stay Or Should I Go (demonstrating the band’s willingness to stray outside psychobilly’s loose boundaries) and Get Back Wetback, and even a session for Simon Mayo’s show early in 1988, the hit single never materialised.

Nevertheless, the Texans continued to build a formidable following and were at the peak of their powers when they released their third album, Saturnalia! in 1989.

 

MARKETING & PROMOTION / SELLING POINTS

 

Reissue of the classic third album "Saturnalia!" by Long Tall Texans, originally released in 1989.

Though just 10 songs, the set was swaggering, confident, eclectic and also slightly contemporary, with Roger Tebbutt adding touches of late 80s production.

Refreshingly, while all the key musical elements of psychobilly were present, the band sidestepped the genre’s more corny shock-horror elements, plumping for a more intelligent lyrical approach.

For fans of GUANA BATZ, REZUREX and COFFIN NAILS.
