vivian stanshall & big grunt - blind date (live bbc) - wide mono

Edit for headphones, November 2025. Edit of a song (03 biG GRunt - Blind Date (BBC 21-03-1970)) from the album "Vivian Stanshall - Collected Rarities" (2011 fan made album).

The album's compiler - BeatleV - wrote:

«« Vivian’s first major (and well received) project [after the disbanding of The Bonzo Dog Band] was "biG Grunt" with Vivian Stanshall on vocals, Bubs White on guitar, Roger Ruskin Spear on saxophone [not on this song], Borneo Fred Munt on guitar, Dennis Cowan on bass and Ian Wallace on drums.

This track was recorded on March 16, 1970 during a session produced by John Walters for the John Peel Show and broadcast on Radio 1 for the first time on March 21, 1970. This recording is from a re-broadcast in May 2008.

Although thise file originates from a lossy source, I decided to include it because the track presented here is a major upgrade in sound quality compared to all earlier released versions. Too bad that this session never has been released officially. »»


BLIND DATE
(Vivian Stanshall)

the only lines from the lyrics that I found on the web are from a comment on someone who didn't understand these lines:

we met at Waterloo
she smelled of al-kay-hol
I'm a scrumpologist too
I'll show you the Hole in the Wall

(The Hole in the Wall is a pub in Waterloo)
