Personnel

Extracted from the "Julian Cope all purpose mythological mind map of the Marlborough Downs & surrounding area" included as the album insert:
*Julian H sung the songs & furnished the wa-guitars, also Mellotrons (400 and Mark II) & vibrated the bass guitar
*Thighpaulsandra glamorously smeared ARP & VCS3 synthesizers all over, wrote all the string orchestrations, pouted piano & preened vocals, then casually blew off the Classic organ solo at the end of "Since I Lost My Head"... Like he's had more weddings than Liz Taylor.
*Flinton Chalk AKA Sid Mooneye (Spiritualized) did it with the Lead guitars & vocals on "Spacerock with me, Battle for the Trees, I've got my TV and my Pills, Maid of Constant Sorrow & Re-directed Male."
*Rooster Mark Cosby (Synus) was the drummer & cymbalist throughout these sessions except when:
*Stee-Vroom Ferrera drummed his own mighty thang on "Planetary Sit-in, Since I Lost My My Head, It's Awl-Right, The Loveboat & I Come From Another Planet, Baby."
*Doggen (TC Lethbridge) wailed like Edward Van Gottsching throughout the "AMBULENCE & RADIO SIT-IN" sessions, and has had squeaky boots ever since.
*Mavis Grind spoke the treasured words of hope on "The Loveboat".
*Lynn Davis of CUMRY sung the outrageous Diva vocals on "s.pa.c.e.r.o.c.k With Me" and left session wanting to be a rock'n'roll star. Thanks to our darling Henrietta Bredin for scouring the opera world for such a Keltic Goddess.
*Jody Evans (Anal/E. Wrecked) played the piano at the end of Dust unaware that he was being recorded.
*Raymond Lovesong crooned the drunken sax on the end of The"Loveboat", and hit the high-note trumpets on "Planetary Sit-In".
*Merrick Godhaven & O.K Simon chanted vocals and daubed Thang all over "Re-directed Male."
*Craig J. Stratton, EOS Counsel, Jason Glover & Amanda Tomlinson were the string players on "Planetary Sit-In, Battle for the Trees, Since I Lost My Head & Arthur.."

*Martin Schellard - conductor
