Matching Mole's Little Red Record
Matching Mole's Little Red Record (1972) is the second album of the English Canterbury Scene band Matching Mole. The band was formed in 1971 by Robert Wyatt after he left Soft Machine. Compared to their first album, which featured Wyatt's musical compositions, keyboard playing, drumming and vocals, Little Red Record was more of a team effort, with Wyatt only drumming, and singing his lyrics. It was produced by Robert Fripp of King Crimson, and features Brian Eno as a guest musician.
The album title refers to Chairman Mao's Little Red Book (1964). This reference is also carried over to the faux-Chinese style of the album cover, which is reminiscent of posters created during the Chinese Cultural Revolution.
For the BGO (Beat Goes On Records) CD edition, Robert Wyatt asked that the album be rearranged so that Side 2 (of the vinyl album) came first as he thought in retrospect that this created a better flow to the album. So it became:
The 2013 Sony Music (Japan) Blu-spec CD reissue follows the original LP's running order, and includes the following bonus tracks:
10. "Starting in the Middle of the Day We Can Drink Our Politics Away" (take 1)
11. "Flora Fidgit" (take 8)
12. "Smoke Signal" (take 4)
13. "Mutter" (MacRae)
