99. Ascension Day by Third World War 1971



Not many people would have heard this song!
Earlier this year I wrote my first letter to a music magazine. Uncut were asking readers to put forward their great lost records. I wrote in about the Third World War album released in 1971. A proto type punk album 5 years before it all happened. And I picked up the magazine one afternoon and there was quote from me. Cool.

I picked up this album at a Brashes sale. 99 cents. Probably around 73. It was so different to anything I'd heard before. Sten guns in Knightsbridge indeed. This song was the highlight of the album. A bit of Clash a dash of Stranglers.
This is one of those songs drove my mum mad. "That's not music our Robert!"
