Captain Trip Records

Over a 25-year time span, as recounted on his website, www.andycolquhoun.com, Andy Colquhoun had been in numerous bands in addition to hanging out with Mick Farren and the Deviants.  From this body of work, he pieced together his first solo album in 2001, Pick up the Phone, America!.  The album came out on a Japanese label, Captain Trip Records.  (if the name sounds vaguely familiar, Captain Trips was the name of the deliberately mutated influenza virus that laid waste to the world at the beginning of Stephen King's epic novel The Stand).  Between Captain Trip and the Bomp! Records label Total Energy, virtually the entire Deviants/Mick Farren catalogue is now happily back in print.
