Bulldog Breed
Made In England
Acme Deluxe ADLP-1036
LP
£16.99
Forget the vague Dad’s Army trimmings, the UK’s Bulldog Breed played psychedelia as an occult nightmare, with tranced tracks like “Austin Osman Spare” referencing the sidereal artist and magician beloved by Coil, Current 93 et al. Although at points 1969’s Made In England is as bun-fixated as the next sugarcube flasher, there are enough heavy, street-fighting moves and experimental acid rockers mixed in with the more marmalade curdling sides to please even the most hard-up free-festival attendee. Bulldog Breed had connections to crunchers like Gun, Please and T2. More and more it’s this kind of wild backwards UK psych that feels like the real roots of England’s Hidden Reverse. Highly recommended and now out of print.
