Sonic Boom, a member of the 1980’s British psychedelic rock band Spacemen 3, told Greg Shaw about Blair 1523:  “[They’d] sent him a tape from a place with the unlikely name of Praze-an-Beeble, somewhere in Cornwall.  By the time I got in touch to offer them a deal they’d already broken up, but I went ahead and compiled a CD from their various demos, and it became a favorite of mine and many others.”
