When Das Rad toured across the north of England in September 2024, our take on the old psych garage classic Buzzsaw by The Turtles proved to be a popular live number – so much so that we decided that while it might not fit on an album, it would make a great vinyl single. So here it is!
The single B side has new Das Rad music Babbit & Rat, and the DL also includes Dubsaw, an extended dub rework of Buzzsaw.
Nick Robinson – guitars
Martin Archer – keyboards, woodwind
Peter Rophone – voices
Jon Short – bass guitar
Steve Dinsdale – drums
Nick Robinson – guitars, Martin Archer – keyboards, woodwind, Jon Short – bass guitar and Steve Dinsdale – drums, in short: DAS RAD, play this ’68 hit by The Turtles on buzzsaw (DISCUS 500V, 7″), which Peter Rophone sings as a skilful psychedelic pastiche. On the B-side they packed their own instrumental ‘Babbit & Rat’, which was beautifully made old with psych guitar and groovy keys. And ‘Dubsaw’ as a DL bonus decelerates this in dub style and with sweet melodica. [BA 128 rbd] – Rigobert Dittmann, BAD ALCHEMY
You can buy your CD or DL either direct from Discus Music or from Bandcamp. The prices and the postage charges are the same on both sites, but Bandcamp will charge you VAT on DL only purchases. Whichever site you choose, the DL element is delivered to your Bandcamp collection.
Discus pays a 10% commission to Bandcamp on sales there, but if you buy direct from Discus Music we get to keep 100% – which of course we prefer! But in the end, please buy from whichever site suits you best.
