Mick Farren: Vampires Stole My Lunch Money
Sandy Robertson, Sounds, 9 September 1978
MICK FARREN, in case you didn't know it, is a rock journalist and author who very occasionally makes records. Remember The Deviants' amphetamine hippy-boogie, or solo excess album Mona: The Carnivorous Circus? No? Maybe it's just as well.
