Blowzabella, Pingha Frenzy, LP Some Bizarre 1986 - KELVIN 422 

This is the first of the group live, recorded in Brazil in August 1987 and produced by Charles Gray. The cover art, cardboard poor, has a plan "Fence off the Amazon" by Philip Ridley. If "Phinga" is the Brazilian national drink, "Phinga Frenzy" is the sound of Blowzabella, so real and unadulterated. We find, on the cover, some effective definitions: Brazil looks like a country full of contrasts, rich and poor, voodoo and samba, but the tour group is instead described as a path (which lasted a month) made of energy and excitement.

Si tratta del primo live del gruppo, registrato in Brasile nell'Agosto del 1987 e prodotto da Charles Gray. L'artistica copertina, in cartoncino povero, presenta un disegno "Fence off the amazon" di Philip Ridley. Se "Phinga" è il drink nazionale brasiliano, "Pingha Frenzy" è il suono dei Blowzabella, così reale e non adulterato. Troviamo, in copertina, alcune efficaci definizioni: il Brasile appare come un paese ricco di contrasti, ricco e povero, woodoo e samba; il tour del gruppo è invece descritto come un percorso (durato un mese) fatto di energia e eccitazione.
