About this item

THIS IS A RECORD STORE DAY 2014 EXCLUSIVE, LIMITED TO ONE PER PERSON.

'Lies And Other Fools' is a poem written by Kermit and narrated by Howard, which has been pressed onto a limited edition one-sided 7” single for RSD. The poem harks back to Kermit’s heroin addiction, which so nearly killed him when he injected with a dirty needle during the Black Grape days, and ended up in a critical condition with septicemia, the infection causing serious damage when a ball of bacteria ripped off one of his heart valves, resulting in a major operation a few years ago, which, thankfully, was successful in repairing the damage, giving him a new lease of life. Back from the brink, Kermit’s is a tale of redemption - his life now completely turned around with the birth of his daughter, Xian, just a few weeks ago.
