I Didn’t Get Where I Am Today (unabridged) Terry Edwards & the Scapegoats "A great big vat of bubbling, cross-pollinating musical styles" - Q Magazine *** Wiiija Records, mightily impressed by the early Scapegoats recordings and Edwards’ cover versions, signed the band for their seminal splatter album I didn’t Get Where I Am Today. The single Boots Off!! paved the way for it then, and has been reissued prior to this, too, losing none of it’s potency - “A killer cut... It will roast your shoe soles clean off" gushed the review by Losing Today. “What an incredible track” - Mark Lamaar, BBC Radio 2 Released on vinyl & CD as a 12-track album in 1997, it has been remastered and comes complete with the other releases licensed to Wiiija, including the Harlem Nocturne EP. Ironically, the most sought after track in the collection - due to it being omitted from the original LP - is Stop Trying To Sell Me Back My Past, a song commenting on the plethora of Edwards’ contemporaries plundering rock’s back catalogue and presenting it as their own. Kind of like the Elgin Marbles... These recordings feature the classic four-piece line-up of Jem Moore (comrade from Norwich’s Serious Drinking), Ian White (of Gallon Drunk and Big Sexy Noise) and Ian R Watson (of Sartorial recording artistes The Treecreepers). Gallon Drunk mastermind James Johnston played harmonica on the cover of Iggy Pop’s Dog Food, and other notable performances come from trumpeters Jason McDermid and Jon Scott, plus Edwards’ long-time collaborator from Madness, Mark Bedford who penned the opening track, The King Of The Cheap Thing. Saxophone legend Archie Shepp commented on Edwards’ version of Harlem Nocturne when the band played with him at the Jazz Cafe - “You’ve got a nice, warm tone. Reminded me of Earl Bostic.” High praise indeed. For completists there is the full-length version of Blue Funk, the flip-side of the Boots Off!! twelve-inch which has become a floor-filler once more.
