Title: Crowman & Rokk Artthrobbe

Somethin that I have only just learned about is the invovlement of Justin and Rob in 1985/6 with a project named 'Hammer and Sickle'.

If you squint your eyes and look at the back cover of this record you'll note that Justin and Rob are credited on the Hammer and Sickle tracks as 'Crowman' and 'Rokk Artthrobbe'

Other curious names are Rev Featus Hammer and Bi Sickle. lol

The track, "Buntingford Town Blues" is quite similar to The Gift, from the "...Warriors" bootleg and is a proper rock song, while "Far Too Many Heroes" is a simpler track, having just guitar and harmonica to accompany the vocal.

Apparently the duo of Hammer and Sickle toured with NMA in 1985 - and presumably this association led to the collective known as Red Sky Coven.

Happy to share the files -if no-one beats me to it.
