doesn't this cover just scream "buy me! buy me!"

Wee Tam & the Big Huge has pretty ace songs too although I think at the time they has quit doing drugs so the totally surrealistic style changes and chord progressions that make Hangman's... so uniquely out there are less frequent.
Even the s/t is excellent, though plainly folk-oriented with their subsequent eclectism only embryonic in places, no sitar and no weird Morrocan instruments on there. On a side note they recorded it as a trio featuring banjo legend Clive Palmer who later went on to form C.O.B. (Clive's Own Band), whose Moyshe McStiff and the Tartan Lancers of the Sacred Heart album is another must-listen of the acid folk smala.
