Back In The Shed

On 11 February 2005, Shed Heads release their debut CD "Back In The Shed" on their own label, Girdle Records. All the songs are Shed Head originals: Camel In A Yashmak, Crazy, Fallen Not Famous, Heads Are Turning, Reverend James, Jamie Oliver, Consultant's Tan, Your Fault Not Mine, That Old Thing Back, House In Order, Monica's Lips and Stalking Song. The guest horn players -" Fones & Bones" appear on House In Order. K designs the sleeve. The insert includes a photograph of the original shed in Tilbury Road.

The album is over four years in the making and recorded in sporadic bursts of activity. The recording itself was a great deal of fun and the old guys especially enjoyed overdubbing backing vocals. The sessions involved only two (and very occasionally three) members of the band at any one time. G also did some of the work on his tracks on a second AW 16G work station in his shed in Central Avenue. The tracks are mixed by The Zimmer Twins during January. This proved to be the most difficult and frustrating aspect of the whole process.

Fifteen copies of the CD are auctioned on-line by Ernst & Young. A total of £420 is raised for Comic Relief and Red Nose Day 2005.
