[PRE-ORDER] Colonel Bagshot - Oh! What A Lovely War [Indie-Exclusive Splatter Vinyl] [Release Date: 05/29/2026]
Darkly psychedelic, politically charged, and utterly rare. This one-off psych-rock classic from 1971 still resonates with its anti-war edge.
Originally released on the Chess subsidiary Cadet Concept, Oh! What a Lovely War is the sole album by Liverpool’s Colonel Bagshot. The band, initially known as “Colonel Bagshot’s Incredible Bucket Band,” began as a six-piece before condensing into a four-piece, and produced an intense series of 7-inches between 1969 and 1973, earning a devoted cult following.
The album’s standout track, “Six Day War,” achieved renewed recognition when DJ Shadow sampled it (renamed “Six Days”) on his 2002 album The Private Press, and later in 2018 by Mahmut Orhan.
