Spiral Tribe / Persons Unknown* - Black Plastik

oneseven, Nov 07, 2008

More commonly known as the Verdict Not Guilty EP. This release helped fund Spiral Tribes flight from the UK, where they were being hounded by the authorities. The title relates to the verdict of not guilty delivered by the courts where 23 members of Spiral Tribe had been charged by the courts of breaking an age old UK law of being a public nuisance for partaking in the Castle Morton free festival which sprang up on Saturday/Sunday 23rd May Bank holiday 1992, Worcestershire UK. The biggest free festival ever, with 25,000 people attending, and one of the last. They were the only sound system there who had charges brought against them, the case lasted 2 years and was reported as the most costly ever for such a crime.
I bought this from Spiral Tribe when they were doing a corner of the park from the side of a truck with Bedlam at the Hackney Homeless Festival in Clissold Park, London, in 1994 while i was off my nut on acid. And they definitely had a white label for sale alongside this black label, which ive never found out what it was yet.

As for the music here, solid Spiral tekno.
