This interim cut & paste single in one of my Herbaliser favourites not least because of Jason Brashill‘s excellent cover painting. Having collaborated with James ‘She-One’ Choules on a few things and being an avid 2000ad reader I was aware of crew member Jason’s work and when fellow comics fan Ollie Teeba wanted something for the cover of their new 12″ I thought this would be the chance to team up.
We traveled to Brighton to meet up and talked it over, exchanged ideas and a few days later some faxes arrived with rough sketches of robo-bugs depicting the record’s title. The Herbs were on tour so there was much faxing of faxes and Ninja needed label artwork to press the 12″s up with hence the use of the rough sketch versions on the 12″ and CD labels. It was also made into a T-shirt for a tour, if anyone has one please send me one…
