Some More Poppycock - Blurt part 2

Disappointed with the reception of Blurt, Ted & crew worked tirelessly on a new album while shopping around for a new label that would capture their sound more precisely.This would be the final Blurt release with the original line-up. After this release, Peter Creese (who had been dubbed The Human Loop by fans) would part ways with Blurt.

Next up was another live album, Friday the 12th, recorded at the Limelight in Kortrijk, Belgium on October 12, 1984. About this time Jake Milton also exited the group. Now made up of Ted, Steve Eagles (guitar), & Paul Wigens (drums), Blurt returned to the studio & recorded Poppycock

Many personnel changes, many albums, many side-projects followed. The last five albums from Blurt have been live recordings from various eras. The most recent date is Cut It! Live recorded in 2017 with a 70+ years young Ted Milton. The band's last studio release was 2015s Beneath Discordant Skies with Milton & Eagles joined by David Ayleward on drums.

  2. Many thanks for the Blurt posts - excellent! Do you happen to have the "Celebrating the Bespoke Cell of Little Ease" album or the Ted Milton album "Magic Moments". Have been looking for those for quite some time.
