Pre-order

From today on it is possible to pre-order "BH/BC" from Stickman Records. Preordering will bring the album to one's mailbox on the day of release ("[...]All pre-paid european orders will be shipped on Wednesday, March 15th and all german pre-paid orders will be shipped on Thursday, March 16th"). Plus, patronizing the label is a good idea anyway!

There will be a double LP as well as a limited edition triple CD box ("...in book-format") that includes a bonus audio disc. The bonus disc features the album-track "Hyena" (radio edit) & the non-album-track "Bonny Lee" (previously unreleased). The dirt-rocking number "Bonny Lee" is a cover song: it was originally done by the "one man rockabilly band" Hank C. Burnette & it can be found on his 1979 album "Hot licks & fancy tricks" (though called "Bonnie Lee" there). Motorpsycho added it briefly to their repertoire during the last shows they played with Geb in Japan 2003 & Europe 2004. There are numerous well hidden Grateful Dead references that come along with this cover choice (to be elaborated in a future post).

In the mean-time the new album has been very well received by those who listened to the leaked version & common consensus appears to be that this is easily Motorpsycho's best effort since 1998's "Trust us", to which I can only wholeheartedly agree! :)
