"レーベルインフォ"
元々, "3rd CUP" は1991年に当時のレーベルであるMidnight Musicから日の目を見ることになり,SPICEというタイトルでテストプレスまでされた (4年後に再びCD化された) が, Midnight Musicは活動を停止し, アルバムは未発表のままであったが, 1995年に3rd CUPとタイトルを変更し, CDのみのセルフリリースとなった。この素晴らしいアルバムがレコードで手に入る時が来て, 私たちはこの上なく幸せです。THE SNAKE CORPSのMidnight Music最後のリリースとなった「SOME OTHER TIME 12」に収録されたセッションと同じセッションを二曲追加したオリジナル・アルバム。
The third album by THE SNAKE CORPS was originally intended to see the light in 1991 through Midnight Music, their former label, it even reached the test pressing status under the title SPICE (four years later re-used for a cd compilation) but Midnight folded and the album remained unreleased until 1995 when it was renamed as 3rd CUP and self-released by the band on cd format only. It was high time that this awesome album would be available on vinyl and we couldn’t be happier with it. We have expanded the original album with two tracks of the same sessions that did appear on the SOME OTHER TIME 12”, the final Midnight Music release by THE SNAKE CORPS. We remastered it, created a brand new artwork for it all and…
We bring you 3rd CUP as a limited, hand numbered edition split in two vinyl colours; 100 copies in translucent orange and 200 in standard black, housed in a matt finish sleeve with a double sided insert and download code.
The Snake Corps was formed by two ex-members of Sad Lovers & Giants (Tristan Garel-Funk and Nigel Pollard) after the band first split in 1983. The pair were augmented by Marc Lewis on vocals and Liam McGuinness on bass.
After some initial success building a local following Nigel left the band to rejoin a newly reinvigorated Sad Lovers & Giants (with Liam’s brother, Tony on guitar) and was replaced by Jon Greville from the hardcore three-piece Rudimentary Peni, on drums.
This line up recorded the first album: FLESH ON FLESH, released on Midnight Music in 1984.
Tours in Europe helped to build and consolidate the band's following, but despite being championed by the legendary DJ John Peel in the UK the story was largely one of press and radio indifference. Feeling a need to broaden the scope of their sound, the band added keyboards with the return of SL&G founder member David Wood. With the arrival of Jim Blanchard from label-mates the S-Haters, on bass guitar, this line-up recorded the band's second album SMOTHER EARTH. More gigs followed but UK recognition continued to elude the Snake Corps despite growing interest from around the world; the bulk of the band's record sales going overseas. Ian Gibson (recently having left the Mk2 version of SL&G) was eventually to replace David Wood on keyboards.
With the collapse into chaos and insolvency of record label Midnight Music, the band raised the necessary funds themselves to record 3rd CUP at Berry Street Studios with Brad Grisdale at the controls. In synergy with Grisdale the result was what many consider to be the Snake Corps' finest album – and also their swan song.
