Krazy Kong Album

One year later and Barrett unshelves the tapes and, together with a recently recorded A-Side, mixes and releases the Krazy Kong Album.

In this part Barrett begins the story and explains that Kong is somewhat of a newbie to the town and is known as a live-wire who is dodged by men, however young women have a penchant for him.

In 'Kong and the Soup Dragon' it is revealed that Kong is a successful man, has a big house and employs a Butler, Footman and Chambermaid.

The character of Kong is a simple monkey-like creature who smokes cigars, is escorted by women whilst partying on a Friday and plays saxophone.

Drink To Me Only and One Leg Blues were performed live at Hinckley College in Oxford and A Shot of Redeye was recorded at Barrett's farm studio in Gawcott, just off Aylesbury.

The promotion for the album began in 1975 when Transatlantic released Krazy Kong[Note 1] backed with Bus Shelter Reggae.

To advertise the album, Barrett placed an ad in the Melody Maker also featuring two Eddie Stanton singles.

Stanton later wrote several of the songs on Barrett's next album, Organic Bondage and The Wimp & The Wild's "Focke Wolfe".
