King Automatic - Playing 6 Garage & Sixties Hits - Vinyl Record

King A makes cover like dirt across the grooves of this big-hole 10inch, taking classic tracks from bands as generationally distant as The Seeds and The Gories, transforming "Pushing To Hard" and "Thunderbird ESQ" into perfectly effortless Jamaican rock steady, fortified with his signature drum machine, and multi-layered loop treatment. And what would a covers record from a French artiste be without paying respect to Mssr. Jacques Dutronc? His 1968 classic "L'augmentation" gets a 21st century rub-down to loosen up the kinks, and emerges revitalized for a daring new scene. The real madness, however, lies at the end of the programme, with an inverted version of "One Step Beyond" knocking the record's concept on it's head, as this 2 TONE classic is stripped of it's syncopated nuttiness, summoned back to it's roots, and emerges born again as pure rhythm'n'beat. And this, fellow punk rudes, is how we're demanding our rock'n'roll be delivered today. COPASETIC AND INTENSIFIED!
